| curriculum_planning | We offer a child-centered curriculum where children can learn in a systemic, progressive manner as they grow. They can build up their initiative and inquiry spirit from first-hand experience and outdoor activities. We also take care of the individual differences of students. Outdoor learning experience brings out the essence of child learning theories, ''Learning by Doing'' and ''Learning through Play”, helping children exploit their full personal potentials.
