During school time, children will be encouraged to traditional culture, make full use of the comprehensive study time for students to recite “The Rules for Students” ( Sage’s teachings), “The Thousand Character Classic “(6th Century), “The Book of Family Names” and other traditional Chinese Literature and poems. Part of the study is for the students to share their thoughts about these traditional readings to their parents at home. It encourage the children to express and be confident about sharing thoughts, more importantly, parents are also encouraged to interact with their children and relive old saying again. That is the healthy learning atmosphere that we would like to achieve. Parents appreciate this culture learning experience, and realize every progress of Children education is about school, family and student work together.
