Lower Elementary
In Elementary, we incorporate a traditional elementary curriculum, in Chinese. Our goal is to exceed state standards in all subjects, which include Math, Chinese Language Arts, English Language Arts (about 10% of classroom instruction), Science, Social Studies, SEL, Arts/Music, and Physical Education. Students’ work emphasizes individualized and independent learning, group projects and collaboration, project-based learning, and presentation.
