99.99% of our graduates are well above and beyond 1st Grade ready by California Common Core State Standards (CACCSS). This is not a typo if you understand the CACCSS is not really high standard.

Customized programs are available BY REQUEST for each individual kid that is capable and willing to advance his/her learning.

California public education is ranked only at #38 among all 50 states for Pre-K-12 by US News.

Kids will eventually need to compete on national level. Only to promise your kids to be kindergarten ready by the CACCSS standards is apparently not enough.

We cover all the key focuses emphasized by the best national ranking public education for kindergarten education in our 2-5 years programs to make them 1st Grade ready after graduation.

Other than specific Mandarin curriculums. We are bi-lingual only in limited use of Mandarin in daily activities to help kids from Mandarin speaking families to transit smoothly to full English learning environment. All our teachers and teaching aids are native English speakers born in US to communicate with our students in fluent American English without foreign accents.

Monthly schedule for each age group is published to help parents monitor how their kids keep up their learning.

We will not ASK or PUSH but ONLY BY REQUEST. For kids whose learning surpass their age group and want to advance by their own will. We can help them with customized learning curriculum in key studies:

​

English Language Arts (ELA):

• K-3 Sight Words
  learn to tell 170 high frequency common sight words by sighting without spelling directly

• K-3 Vocabulary & Spelling
  learning word definitions, roots, prefixes, suffixes, and correct word formation. learn and review at least 6 new spelling words every week.

• K-3 Grammar & Mechanics:
  Punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, relational and relative verbs and parts of speech.

• K-2 Phonics
  We heavily emphasize on phonics training. We see it most crucial to help kids from non English-speaking families be able to read better than kids from full English-speaking families. Start with the very basic A-Z letter sounds. We steadily progress to more advanced phonics learning for Bossy E, Consonant Blends, Consonant Digraphs, CVC Words, Diphthongs, Double letters, Final Sounds, Prefixes, R Controlled Vowels, Silent Letters, Soft Sounds, Suffixes, Tricky Phonics, Trigraphs, Vowel Digraphs, etc…

• K-2 Reading
  at least reading one subject every day from K-2 and even higher levels progressively
