K1 through Grade 4 (K1 , K2 , K3 , G1 , G2 , G3 , G4)

Our intensive program for K1 through Grade 4 will group students by grade level and provide them full day immersion in Chinese and English (Chinese 65%, English 25%, PE 10%).

Grade 5 and Grade 6 (G5 , G6)

A special program has been designed for Grade 5 and 6 which will enable students to review and improve their English and Math skills:

Grade 5 and 6 will have half day Intensive English and half day Intensive Math.

For Grade 5 and 6 students, the focus will be on reviewing grammar, essay writing, composition and work intensively on improving students’ overall language skills. Half day will be spent on Math reviewing all that has been taught in the past years and preparing them for Pre-Algebra the following year.

A special program has been designed for Grade 9-10 students which will enable them to review and improve their English written and oral skills and will be useful for students who are in need of extra help with any aspect of English, or indeed those who want to work on their world literature essay.

This is an introduction to all parts of the program; part one, world literature; part two, detailed study; part three, groups of works and part four, school’s free choice.

Each part is examined through identifying and explaining the nature of the assessment requirements, reading samples of student work and becoming familiar with the language of IB assessment criteria. Students entering IB will have the opportunity to complete a pre-reading and research of the cultural background of their world literature texts. Students currently in the IB program will have the opportunity to work on their world literature essay (20% of their final grade)In addition, there will be extensive work on the unseen commentary.

Methods of approaching this part of the examination will be explicitly taught, with samples of student commentaries graded and discussed. Students will write practice mini-commentaries themselves and will be provided with detailed feedback on areas to develop. The importance of oral skills will be reviewed in relation to assessment requirements and students will have practical experience of delivering an individual oral presentation (IOP – 15% of the final grade for the program)

Above all, this is an opportunity for students to grow in confidence using the target language both written and oral, in a non-threatening environment, and explore the scope and sequence of the English A1 program.
