Elementary School
Growing Towards Proficiency and Self-Discovery
In our Elementary School, a personalized dual language immersion model helps scholars to build foundational skills and proficiency in both English and Chinese. We use regular progress monitoring exercises to build and update personalized learning plans that focus on growth towards proficiency and resiliency.
Chinese and international teachers, supported by teaching fellows, deliver an integrated STEAM-based curriculum that fosters critical thinking, creative problem-solving, collaboration and self-awareness. Experiential and conceptual learning is enhanced through cross-disciplinary projects linking sciences, technology and mathematics with the arts, inclusive of the humanities.
iSTEAM-PBL
We reinforce and advance the study of subject content through an interdisciplinary, STEAM curriculum, using Project Based Learning strategies (iSTEAM-PBL). This instructional method uses thematic experiential discovery lessons to foster student-centered, applied inquiry learning. In addition to providing a double dose of instruction in science, math and humanities, this instructional method strengthens scholars’ confidence to take risks with critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, collaboration and self-awareness.
50/50 Dual Language Immersion
For scholars to achieve proficiency in both the Chinese and English languages, half of the daily or weekly instruction is delivered uninterrupted in Chinese and the other half in English. Our immersion approach also provides scholars with a double dose of math, humanities, science and philosophy instruction through iSTEAM-PBL discovery lessons taught as one course in Chinese and another course in English.
