Innovative Integrated Curriculum, Bilingual Immersive Learning

During the compulsory education stage, the national curriculum is at the core, and it is supplemented with a rigorous and diverse innovative integrated curriculum system to meet students’ learning needs. The school offers five major levels (art, music, physical education, etc.), seven major categories, and over a hundred school-based elective courses. The curriculum emphasizes inquiry and hands-on experiences to enhance students’ core competencies.

The school provides an immersive bilingual learning environment where English, Mathematics, and Science subjects are taught by bilingual and foreign teachers. Music, Art, and Physical Education classes are taught in English by both Chinese and foreign teachers who possess international education experience, aiming to help students acquire bilingual skills.

They have graduated from renowned universities both domestically and internationally, such as the University of Cambridge, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Students are nurtured in a multicultural environment to develop a global perspective and cross-cultural communication skills.

Differentiated and layered teaching, focusing on each child

The school implements personalized education and adopts a small-class teaching model with no more than 24 students in a class. The teacher-student ratio is 1:6, allowing teachers to pay close attention to each child. Differentiated teaching methods are used for core subjects such as Mathematics, English, and Science.
