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.

Pillars of activity

课程领域

Games

Curated puzzle and block games with progressive difficulties and narrative-driven; group board and card games once the group advances.

Singing with guitar and piano, plus sight-singing and ear-training exposure and foundations.

Language

Interactive reading conversations with books; maximizing and sequencing exposure to sounds, letters, words-to-objects.

Sensorial play & art

Hands-on sensory exploration and open-ended art.
