Values

我们的信念

Eyes bright, every morning.

Exuberance is the metric.

ii.

We teach the next thing, not the average thing.

A curriculum tuned to each child so they are always working at the edge.

iii.

No ceiling, by design.

The child sets the pace. We keep up.

iv.

The games are the lessons.

E.g. board games teach strategy, turn-taking, memory, and grit.

Parents as partners.

Extensive notes, plus recommended activities to continue at home.
