Jiade combines Chinese culture with an international blend of English classes by its international faculty team. The children work individually or together in small groups with a variety of educational materials in close co-operation with teachers, each following an individualized learning program within the Montessori curriculum. The classrooms are neatly organized engaging children’s curiosity and intellectual creativity in self-directed work. The calm but energetic ambience of the classroom creates a natural environment conducive to encouraging children to learn. Jiade provides the opportunity, facilities, materials, and ethos for children to become independent, self-directed, motivated,analytical and confident learners.
