Four Features
1.Personal guidance
Student centered and teachers are the supplementary. In a relatively private space, focusing on learning, students can advance their learning at their own pace. Teachers provide personal guidance when necessary to prevent student failure and support student learning. When encountering problems that students cannot solve by themselves, By raising the flag, the teacher helps solve the students’ problems.
In addition, unlike other regular schools, students in multiple grades study in the same classroom.
2.Academic ability test
Enrolled students will first go through a test to confirm their learning ability. Through the test, the strength deviation in all subjects is clear. Each student will, based on their own test results, They start learning at the actual level, instead of learning at the same grade level. Therefore, there will be no disadvantages of traditional centralized education: that is, one has to stay ahead of others, or one has to follow the overall teaching progress after being behind others.
For subjects that fail from the test, teachers will accompany the student to strengthen their weak points from tutoring, and challenge those points repeatedly until they pass.
3.Self-directed learning
Students set goals, learn and achieve goals every day. The daily progress of learning is planned by the students themselves, which is the key to self-controlled learning. This training allows students to clarify their learning obligations and responsibilities. At the same time, let students learn to set life goals and work hard for them. Establishing such a "goal setting" and "striving to achieve" thinking mode and behavior habits, its value will be used for their life.
4.Mastering
The textbooks for all subjects are based on wonderful biblical values throughout. As the foundation becomes firmer, knowledge is accumulated. Students naturally understand what they are learning, and then plan their next learning goals independently. As a prerequisite for entering the next stage of the course, students must have a minimum of 80% of the textbook content.
