This program is designed to teach students to be more disciplined. Students are guided by our teachers to finish homework while developing a good habit to do review-preview learning regularly. Homework will be finished before going home.

Asian Language and Culture Program
This program, available in Chinese and Japanese, is designed to facilitate and further Asian language and culture learning. Students are provided with great opportunities to learn the target language and to learn through the language. By learning through the language, students promote sharing of the target culture and thoroughly understand both Western and Eastern cultures. No prior knowledge of the language is required of either the student or the family.

The curriculum contains language development, pronunciation, and culture learning that emphasizes skills necessary for effective oral and written communication. Instruction covers: practical vocabulary, basic language structures, and the essentials of reading writing, listening, and speaking.

Mathematics Program

Instruction covers a lot of repetition and practice, which is a very useful way to help children learn mathematics. The curriculum starts from beginners level to advanced level.

Individualized Guided Study Program
Independent study is an integral part of the language and mathematics programs. Small group and one-on-one instruction occur as students are assigned materials to help improve their specific areas of weakness. Students study at their own pace to complete work assigned and to build ability in being creative, independent, and thoughtful.
