Our Curriculum
1. English Language Arts
Similar to U.S. English classes (aligned with Common Core State Standards), this course aims to strengthen students’ academic reading and writing skills through critical thinking, inference-making, and evidence-based analysis.
2. Intensive Reading & Writing
Through close reading of original novels and theme-based writing, we systematically develop students’ literacy skills, cultural awareness, and critical thinking within an international curriculum. This also prepares them for future A-Level/IB programs and standardized tests such as TOEFL/SAT.
