Our Philosophy

We believe there are three pillars to an individual's skill set: academic skills, life skills, and physical skills. A child needs to learn all these skills to be a successful member of a society. We will partner with parents and the community to educate children with these fundamental skills.

Academic Skills

• Command of fundamental knowledge in language, math, social studies, geography, and history in both English and Chinese
• Command of reading, oral and written communication skills in both English and Chinese, and oral competency in Spanish
• Understanding the “big picture” – the overall framework of each subject area in terms of how they are developed and related
• Creative, innovative, and independent thinking
• Problem solving skills, critical thinking skills, and research skills, so the child can become a passionate life-long learner.
