1A daily shower of English

We value the "learning in English" style. On average, about 50% of the day is spent learning in English, including science, math, social studies, and arts and crafts. In addition, we actively use English during lunch time and cleaning time. By spending time immersed in English, the students can acquire practical and academic English.

2Instilling Inquiry Learning

We put great importance on the process of children thinking independently, starting from their natural curiosity. Students will discover various things, reflect on them, and eventually acquire the ability to cooperate with their peers and solve problems practically while considering various perspectives.

3Acquire the ability to
succeed in the world

The IB learner profile consists of ten attributes--Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-takers, Balanced, and Reflective, We believe that only those who possess these attributes will be able to embrace the diversity of cultures and languages and create a better world. Thinking and reflecting on themselves in their daily lives, in their studies, and in their interactions with others, the children will develop these ten attributes. We believe that our students can create a better world.
