Partner with us in your child's learning journey
Your child is part of a world-class, research-based curriculum designed specifically for English language learners. Here's what makes it special:
Your child chooses projects based on their interests
Learning starts with your child's questions
Real tasks with real audiences
Instruction matched to your child's level
Instead of "What did you learn today?", try:
Reading in Chinese supports English development! Any reading builds language skills and background knowledge.
Provide materials, space, and time for your child to work on their projects. Show interest in what they're creating!
Praise persistence, trying new strategies, and learning from mistakes. This builds a growth mindset!
Research shows ESL students learn language 2x faster when using it for real purposes. Projects give authentic reasons to communicate.
All projects have support built in. Your child gets help during class, has scaffolding at their level, and can ask for teacher conferences.
Check this website for unit overviews, view their work on Seesaw portfolio, and attend parent-teacher conferences.
You can support by providing time and space, but let your child do the work. It's okay if it's not perfect - mistakes help learning!
We're here to help!
