Why Choose Chinese Studies Programme (CSP) 汉学课程
Integration of Culture and History
Provides a comprehensive learning experience intertwining China's rich history and culture, emphasising the inseparable connection between language and cultural understanding. Learning is enriched through immersion in historical contexts.
Immersive and Experiential Learning
Offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and language through student exchange programme or summer camps in China. This firsthand experience not only enriches their understanding but also fosters lasting bonds that extend beyond borders.
Rigorous Language Standards and Relevant Curriculum
Our programme sets the gold standard for Chinese proficiency, drawing from CNC, KSSR, and UEC materials. Participants are required to meet a minimum level of Chinese proficiency to ensure meaningful engagement.
Student-led and Inquiry-based Learning
Empowers students to lead their learning journey, fostering critical thinking and curiosity within Chinese Studies. By exploring areas of personal interest, students find the subject matter engaging and manageable.
Age-Appropriate Progression
Tailored content delivery aligns with the cognitive development of students aged 8 to 15. Beginning with fundamental elements such as characters, pinyin, and interactive communication, the curriculum gradually delves deeper into literature, including poems and prose, and fosters a nuanced understanding of Chinese history and culture as students mature.
We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
