Studying at Kaiwen-Primary School Curriculum

At the elementary school level, courses and teaching activities center on cultivating interest, acquiring basic learning skills, and guiding methods of thought. By collaborating on lesson plans teachers of different subjects get to know the progress and focus of each subject, which is taught as a part of an integrated whole. In this way, teachers can better help students build knowledge associations as well as inspire and guide them to think more creatively and independently.

Math and Science

Science and math are taught jointly by Chinese and foreign teachers to utilize and retain the strengths of American education in guiding students' interest in science and mathematics.

Chinese Courses and English Courses

In order to teach two languages and cultures, instruction emphasizes language usage and fundamentals of culture to help students at this stage develop their cultural awareness.

Kaiwen's Distinctive Courses

For example, the SEL course.
The SEL course uses a caring and respectful atmosphere to cultivate students' emotion and cognition and control, psychological self-regulation, and interpersonal communication; academic learning abilities such as independent problem solving, goal management, and teamwork are also improved by learning and applying social and emotional management skills to the healthy development of students' personalities and intelligence.

At the primary school level, each class has a designated bilingual academic class teacher in addition to the course teachers. The class teachers are responsible for observing and guiding students' daily learning activities, such as correcting improper learning habits, attending to students' emotional fluctuations, and discovering other problems students may encounter during their studies. The class teachers communicate closely with parents to effectively combine family education and school education.
