Place Who Cost About the guest speaker: As one of The Special Curriculum employs nine foreign teachers, all
graduates of some of the most prestigious universities.
In the United States, these teachers led reading programs and
reading-intensive, college-style seminars to help prepare students
for success at American institutions. Seminar topics cover a
variety of disciplines such as psychology, economics and
globalization, history, sociology and literature. Additionally, the
school has implemented a number of rigorous extracurricular programs
such as a daily newspaper, a monthly English magazine, and a
student-run, for-profit coffee house. The school has just
opened a 4,000 volume English library and instituted a health and
fitness program, complete with a new cafeteria specializing in
healthy, well-balanced meals. All of our seminars, activities,
and special programs are designed to foster free thinking,
independence, and intellectual curiosity among our students.
The school is planning to expand aspects of the Special Curriculum
to Peking University High School as early as next year. |
