Curriculum Outline
5 Exciting Themes
A new “real-world” inquiry-based experience awaits every week.
From the mysteries of water and global cultures to cutting-edge STEM experiments, our themes are designed to dynamically spark intellectual curiosity.
The continuous “wow moments” that can’t be experienced online will transform into lifelong wisdom, empowering children to think and discover on their own.
Inquiry-Based STEAM & Leadership
In this program, students sharpen the essential skills for future leaders through “Inquiry-Based Learning,” where they tackle open-ended questions with no single right answer.
Centered on providing “extraordinary experiences that cannot be found on YouTube,” students will formulate hypotheses in English, conduct experiments, and build projects to dive deep into each theme from a scientific perspective.
The biggest highlight this year is the integration with our daily 45–60 minute “Sports English” sessions. This allows students to reinforce the STEAM concepts they’ve learned intellectually through dynamic physical activity.
By completing missions using Collaboration and Critical Thinking, students will master “living English” and forge the leadership skills necessary for the next generation.
Term 1: Water Mystery (7/21 – 7/24)
Water Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of H2O!
Water is essential to our lives, but it is also a treasure trove of scientific wonders. This week, we start with familiar questions like “Why does ice float?” and “How does water change its shape?” to explore the mysteries of water through authentic scientific experiments conducted entirely in English.
By formulating hypotheses like a real scientist, observing, and documenting results in English, students will dynamically stimulate their logical thinking skills. This isn’t just about gaining knowledge; by experiencing the properties of water through their five senses, students will naturally master living English expressions. These five days of discovery will ignite an insatiable curiosity and transform an interest in science into a lifelong asset.
Term 3: STEM Science (8/3 – 8/7)
STEM Science: Little Engineers Shaping the Future!
This special program is based on the cutting-edge “STEM” approach, integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Using everyday materials, students will predict, build, and experiment—repeatedly asking “How can we make this work?” even when they encounter challenges.
This process of trial and error cultivates creativity and the “ability to tackle open-ended questions,” which are essential skills for the future. Even specialized English vocabulary is acquired naturally through the fun of creation. During these five days, as intellectual curiosity reaches its peak, we will unlock each child’s hidden creativity and build the confidence to shape the future.
Term 2: Global Culture (7/27 – 7/31)
Global Culture: Around the World in English!
Our classroom transforms into a jet plane, ready to whisk you away across the globe—no passport required! Students will experience diverse cultures, traditional customs, vibrant cuisines, and popular local games from various countries, all through the medium of English.
By exploring lifestyles and values different from their own, children develop a global mindset that respects “differences” not as mere surprises, but as unique traits to be celebrated. This journey allows students to rediscover their own roots while broadening their horizons to the wider world—a crucial first step toward becoming future global citizens. Join us for an exciting week where students discover the true joy of connecting with the world using English as their bridge!
