feels like family. With low student-toteacher
ratios and small classes, children
are truly known and their individual interests
and talents cultivated. Working in
tandem, English and Mandarin teachers

cultures and perspectives to create the
optimal learning environment. Students
think beyond themselves and gain a global
perspective, emerging as compassionate,
