Curriculum

ABC Day School follows guidelines from the WEE Learn Curriculum. This curriculum focuses on thematic units that are designed to stimulate a child’s curiosity about themselves and their environment. This curriculum offers so many exploration and learning opportunities. Thus, our teachers will guide your children through this curriculum to discover their strengths and talents. We also encourage each of our students to make use of their five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.

ABC Day School aims to widen your kid’s learning perspectives through our various extracurricular activities that will nurture and develop their innate talents and skills.

Dance

Enhance your child’s dancing skills through our exciting dance classes that are conducted by our friendly and professional dance teachers. Let them groove to the music together with their friends and enjoy their dance session with us. Dancing is also a great way for them to express their emotions through movement without violence and any unwanted behavior.

Art

Our art classes will help flourish your child’s ingrained talent in the arts. This class is specially created to provide nourishment for their interest in creating their masterpieces. Our dedicated teachers will give them full support and encouragement to their chosen field, to help bring out their best.

Piano

Our piano class is open for all kids who are interested in learning to play the piano. Indulge your kid’s ears to good music and let them create their own harmony today. Give your child the opportunity to learn something new; enroll them in our piano program.

Fitness

Add a structural exercise to your kid’s daily routine in a fun and exciting way. Our jump bunch helps promote physical fitness specifically for kids who don’t get enough physical activity, due to their parent’s busy schedule. Together with their peers, they will experience a new way of exercise that they will surely grow to love and possibly bring into their routine for years to come.

ABC Day School uses Ma Liping Curriculum in After School program. The most advanced feature of Ma Liping Curriculum is its attempt to introduce Chinese in a fundamentally different yet utterly effective way of teaching and learning. It is best for children who have some fluency in Mandarin Chinese in that it is the heritage language of their family. Instead of following suit with many existing textbook series, the Ma series focuses on lower grades, primarily on building adequate vocabulary through repeated exposure to and spiral expansion of characters presented in fun and culturally appealing contents. Through the Ma series, students are expected to know 1,500 of the most frequent words used in general Chinese books by 4th grade.
