Programs Overview
We provide a robust core academic program and we promote participation in our comprehensive extra-curricular program, which includes arts, sports, technology, and service activities, to help students make the most of their time at school.
Pioneer Spirit Program
We have developed a comprehensive and structured character development program based on the Second Step life skills program and embedded it into our core curriculum throughout all grade levels.
PioneerTown
This is a unique and engaging program that provides an encouraging and stimulating environment for students to develop a pioneer mindset, display their leadership and critical thinking skills, and participate in a role-playing simulation of a whole-town economy.
Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs)
We plan to offer a wide breadth and depth of activities in collaboration with our neighbor school XCL World Academy. The ECA program is designed to allow our students to explore their passions and further develop their talents.
Arts Program
Throughout all grade levels, students will be exposed to a broad-based arts program embedded into the curriculum designed to provide them with an overview and basic appreciation for the arts (dance, drama, music and visual arts) and to potentially discover their talents and niches for further exploration.
Sports Program
We believe that students should be exposed to a wide range of sports and activities to allow them to discover their interests and develop good habits for a healthy active lifestyle.
Mandarin Bilingual Program
Our bilingual program is designed for non-native Mandarin speakers with no prior knowledge of the language, with the main objective of developing foundations for a fulfilling lifelong journey of language mastery.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) Program
We also offer support for non-native English language speakers of varying English abilities to develop their language abilities through a targeted program designed to meet their individual needs.
