Join Our Exciting Saturday Program! (Saturdays, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
Prepare your child for a bright future with our comprehensive and engaging Saturday Program! Spanning 35 Saturdays throughout the school year, this program is designed to enrich your child’s learning experience through a blend of language instruction, academic excellence, and creative enrichment.
Morning Language Immersion (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM):
Our morning sessions are dedicated to mastering language skills, with specialized classes in Chinese and ESL (English as a Second Language). Students are grouped according to their proficiency levels, ensuring personalized attention and effective learning.
Chinese Language Lessons:
For our youngest learners in PreK and Kindergarten, we use the Chinese for Preschool Children textbook, designed to ignite an early interest in Chinese characters. Through interactive activities like tracing and coloring, children will learn to recognize, understand, and enjoy the Chinese language.
Older students progress through our Standard Chinese textbooks, a meticulously developed series supported by China’s Ministry of Education. These textbooks guide students from the basics of pinyin to more complex grammar and vocabulary, all while fostering listening, speaking, reading, andwriting skills. By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in Chinese, mastering over 2,150 words and 300 essential sentences.
ESL Lessons:
For our English learners, we use the Spectrum Language Arts series, tailored to different grade levels. These engaging workbooks make learning English fun and effective, with activities like word searches, sentence matching, and more. Our structured lessons ensure that students build solid language skills while enjoying the process.
Lunch Break (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM):
Students can refuel with their own lunch or enjoy a delicious pizza package, available for purchase during registration.
Afternoon Academic Enrichment (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM):
After lunch, students dive into ELA and Math lessons, where they’re grouped by grade level for targeted learning using Spectrum textbooks. Our expert instructors make challenging concepts accessible and exciting.
Test Prep Classes (SHSAT & SAT):
For those aiming for specialized high schools or top colleges, we offer SHSAT and SAT preparation classes taught by Ivy League graduates. Our instructors bring real exam questions and insider strategies to the table, helping students boost their scores and achieve their academic goals. (Please note: Test prep classes are charged separately.)
Creative and Physical Enrichment (3:00 PM – 4:00 PM):
The final hour of the day is all about exploration and creativity! We partner with licensed vendors to offer a diverse range of activities, from self-defense and hip-hop dance to coding, robotics, and science experiments. These enrichment activities are designed to stimulate both body and mind, ensuring a well-rounded education. (Enrichment activities are charged separately.)
