While we follow the Core Knowledge curriculum for English, History, Geography and Science, we depart from it for Math. In the K-2 grades, we teach Math the Chinese way, encouraging mastery of the fundamental skills of arithmetic through practice and memorization. We also connect mathematical concepts to real life such as shapes, measurement, time and money.

​

Starting in the 3rd grade, we use Afficient, an AI-based technology platform, to enable our students to learn more abstract concepts at their own pace with 1-on-1 teacher guidance. Afficient assesses students' levels and pinpoints their proficiencies so they may review and master previous concepts before adding on new ones. For students who adhere to weekly assignments, a grade level worth of Math can be learned in 18-20 weeks. We allow and encourage students to learn beyond their grade level as far and as quickly as they can.

 

To complement the individualized learning, we have weekly collaborative math projects that bring math concepts to the real world (building things at scale, collecting data, representing data with visuals, unit conversions with manipulatives, etc.).

​

With technology permeating our daily lives, we introduce the concepts of technology literacy, programming and robotics to students as young as kindergarten so that they can become savvy consumers of technology as well as creators if they so choose in the future.
