This diverse mix not only sparks creativity but also cultivates personal growth and a strong sense of community as students embark on their journeys of exploration.
Chinese Culture
Through engaging Mandarin classes and vibrant celebrations of traditional festivals like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, students develop a profound appreciation for their host country. Exciting trips and adventurous excursions to various cities in China for Upper School students not only enrich their cultural knowledge but also foster teamwork, enhance critical thinking, and encourage personal growth.

The Service Learning program starts within the school, building a strong foundation before expanding to local, regional, and global communities. The Advisory program enriches this experience with guest speakers and skill-building opportunities. Students engage in dynamic, interdisciplinary activities that explore values like leadership and service, demonstrating remarkable initiative and ownership of their learning in real-world contexts.
