Immersion programme

Combining the rigorous Chinese approach to learning and teaching with the warmth, vibrancy and richness of a Chinese prep school education, ThinkChinese created an immersive environment where pupils learn to live and learn together with respect and tolerance.

Course Audience

We currently have two groups of IP on offer. The senior group is suitable for 5-7yrs who are of Chinese heritage or have about 2 years of the learning experience. The junior group is suitable for 3-5yrs who are of Chinese inheritance or without any learning experience.

Five Pillars Themes

Our programme is based on well-being, arts, music, math and daily conversations. Teaching topics are developed based on these themes, through which knowledge and skills will be developed.

Knowledge and Skills to develop

Academic achievement: all children can succeed
Proficient bilingualism from childhood to adulthood
Cross-cultural and global competence
Critical consciousness for equitable access and social justice
Creative and innovative educational design and implementation of language immersion education

Progress and Feedback

We provide formal and informal feedback regularly. Each term we will write to parents to let them know their children’s progress. We also discuss any aspects of their learning through regular communication. We also provide our own material which monitors whether the benchmarks have been met at each key stage, and feedback accordingly.

Special Provision for Young Learners

A safeguarding and well-being form needs to be signed prior to the start
Visiting our classroom and meeting our teachers beforehand are also strongly recommended
Besides the usual requirements of DBS and safeguarding certificates for all teachers, the Programme Leader also holds First Aid certificate. We also have a teacher who obtained a degree in learners’ psychology and is experienced in working with young children of special needs.
To generate optimal learning outcomes, our teacher to students ratio is 1-5.
