Curriculum
Kang Chiao TIME
The core of "Kang Chiao TIME" is to give our students the time and space to think and explore. Beginning in the lower grades, our life skills curriculum sparks a child's natural curiosity and observation of the world. As they move into the middle and upper grades, students enter a self-directed learning phase where they independently choose their own topics, create a research plan, and conduct in-depth inquiry. At the end of the semester, they present their findings.
Throughout this process, students connect learning to their own experiences, discover the methods that work best for them, and learn to take responsibility for their choices. Even mistakes and setbacks become valuable lessons that build a foundation for future decisions.
"Kang Chiao TIME" is a platform that encourages both experimentation and growth. It is a space where students can develop their personalities, explore their interests, and showcase their unique talents, all while building a genuine sense of accomplishment that is truly their own.(More⬇️)
