From kindergarten to high school, we gradually refine the classification of subjects taught to each grade, enrich the subject content, raise the subject education goals, and follow the principle of progressive education. Our courses cover all necessary skills students need, including life skills, adaptive training and psychological counselings, so as to ensure the children have teachers’ guidance in their studies, life and mental health, making the school a real paradise and home for students to live and learn.
