Each unit is planned in a way to cover different subjects such as English, Math , Science , Social Studies, and Art as well as different skills such as critical thinking, creativity , motor skills , emotional and social skills. There is also one swimming/sports class per week.
What level of English is required?
All levels are welcome! Our teachers are experienced in designing lesson plans that allow non-English-speaking children to interpret, engage with, and enjoy the activities.
As a community, we value collaboration and inclusivity. We often have children in different age groups who speak the same language as our non-English-speaking students. These children naturally support each other, which not only helps the new learners feel comfortable but also teaches them the importance of helping others and building friendships.
The Ninja class is a mixed-age group (7 to 9 years old) designed specifically for non-English-speaking children. This class focuses on developing English skills and preparing students for age-appropriate classes.Children typically spend two semesters in Ninja class, where they gain the confidence and language foundation needed to transition into the right grade-level class.

A bag containing the followings:

- Pencil case with a black pencil, a rubber, a sharpener and color pencils
- Water Bottle
