HOME || Education / Elementary School / Course Introduction / Tree House + Club House
Tree House is for children in elementary Grades One to Three. Club House is for Grade Four to Six elementary students. They are specifically designed for the growing number of children with an English or bilingual kindergarten background. These kids need to continue using and learning their English in order to really capitalize on the head start they got in kindergarten. Tree House and Club House are each three years, six levels, long. Initially, Tree House has four two-hour classes each week. At higher levels and in Club House, classes are only taught two or three times a week.
 
Native speaking English teachers teach all classes. A Chinese teacher helps the NST communicate with parents and occasionally is in the class to assist. Tree House and Club House are similar to schooling in English speaking countries. In this total English immersion learning environment, students don't simply learn English, they learn in English. Students of this western learning style quickly become independent free thinkers.
 
The program is theme-based with nine different units or themes per semester. Each unit includes a theme related storybook, song, dialogue, writing and phonic exercises, grammar component, poem and integrated activities. These hands-on, student centered activities are designed to engage a wide range of knowledge and different learning styles. In Club House, regular speech and drama activities are introduced to the curriculum. Students have ample opportunities to express themselves in our interactive classes. Our activities and games involve lots of small and large group work because children learn language best through social interaction.
 
This program produces children who are able to learn independently and think creatively. Our students excel in creative writing and natural, self-motivated communication. Tree House students will read 54 storybooks, learn over 4000 new words and use 54 conversations and 108 songs and chants to reinforce 139 sentence patterns. By Club House Four, students will be equipped to pass the Elementary level GEPT. Club House students will
practice 76 useful conversations, 40 songs and chants and perform over 20 speeches and plays.
