| curriculum_planning | The school adopts ''Project Approach '' learning model to enhance the child's self-learning spirit, creativity and scientific by different sensory learning elements. Students learn through their daily life experience and teacher-student interaction. Also, by children’s personal exploration, children can develop multiple intelligence, common ability and good living habits. We believe that through thinking, asking questions, trial and error, experience, communication and participation, students can effectively develop their mind.
