What: a rare opportunity for students to achieve near native fluency in speaking, reading and using Chinese to learn anything they are interested, including science segment (additional cost) /board games and news discussion! 100% Mandarin immersion nature program, with character/reading sessions for ready students, and Chinese content in science, history, literature, culture, life skills etc.

Our curriculum follows the children’s lead throughout their time at the school. We support and facilitate our students’ learning by providing study units that answer their questions or respond to their curiosity that naturally arise when they play in and with nature. For example, we have answered questions such as “where does the rain/rainbow come from?” (water cycle system); “why can’t we step on snails? (snails’ role in ecosystem); “why birds’ feathers fall?” “where does fog/snow come from?) etc.

It provides ample safe, outdoor free play, with minimum adult intervention, and more focus on encouraging emotional development through children interaction (vs. adult directed conflict resolution).

Sign up is easy! Just fill out the form here. We will follow up regarding the next steps.
