#SHOWBIZ: Aaron Kwok pays over RM197K annually for his daughters' private school fees

HONG KONG: Beyond their towering status as two of Hong Kong’s legendary Heavenly Kings, Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau now share another distinct connection—their choice of school for their children.

#SHOWBIZ: Aaron Kwok pays over RM197K annually for his daughters' private school fees

Hong Kong movie stars Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau have a shared interest in the education of their daughters. The two A-listers' older daughters, Chantelle Kwok, 9, and Charlotte Lau, 7, both attend the prestigious Victoria Shanghai Academy (VSA). Lau's daughter, Hanna, 14, also studies at the institution. VSA's Primary Years Programme, which Chantelle and Charlotte are enrolled in, comes with an annual tuition fee of about HK$191,700 or RM98,935 per child.

Kwok, 60, pays roughly HK$383,400 or RM197,856 a year for his daughters' education. Kwok chose VSA for its balanced approach to learning and child development. The curriculum offers greater freedom and places less academic pressure on students, according to Kwok. Kwok noted that he has a great deal in common with Lau, as Hanna also attends the same school.

The fatherly camaraderie extends to a meeting with fellow Heavenly King Jacky Cheung, who has grown daughters aged 21 and 26.
