Our Goal

We aim to provide a positive and enriching learning experience for our students.
Our premise is to teach students “how to fish for a lifetime” by giving them strategies and skills they can use throughout their entire academic careers.

Skills Students Will Develop

We help students from grades 1-8 to learn core skills and abilities including critical thinking, detail-analysis, sequencing, reading comprehension, making inferences, and many more. Through interaction, expression, and idea-sharing among students and teachers, students will get the opportunity to develop stronger listening and language skills, both verbal and written. As a result, students gain more motivation, self-discipline, and confidence as they progress through their academic careers.

Our Abacus Mental Math Class

珠心算是将看到或听到的数字,转化成大脑的算珠映像并且按照珠算的原理进行心算的一种计算方式,其特点是将中国珠算方式及影像结合起来,通过右脑“脑影像”瞬间得出运算结果。

 
 珠心算为主体,融入数学思维、记忆、启智游戏专项训练,结合游戏、故事、动画而研发的课程体系,不再是枯燥的“刷计算题”。 
 
 学习珠心算的目的不是为了打算盘,或仅仅为了提高计算能力,它是一种综合性思考和脑运动结合的全脑教育,在学习过程中,通过眼看、耳听、手动、口念,脑想的协调能力,开发儿童右脑潜能,促进逻辑思维左脑和形像思维右脑的平衡发展。通过学习还能激发孩子的大脑专注力、记忆力、反应力、空间想像力、思维力和计算能力等,可以大大提高孩子的自信心、意志力、竞争意识等心理素质!从而提升孩子的综合学习能力,让孩子受益终生,收获美好的未来!
