With its advanced philosophy, distinguishing features and high-quality education, Huamei School has gained widespread recognition in the past twenty-three years. In 2015, Huamei School is entering into its second stage of pioneering development with 3 standards: Huamei through revolutionary ideas, Huamei through innovation and Huamei through brand redevelopment.Huamei Primary School has unswervingly pursued the combination of both Eastern and Western education, and thus formed a distinctive philosophy of education which seeks to help students form good habits and exploit their potential as well as provide the students with a platform of all-round development.

We value the cooperation and interaction(communication)between the school and parents. Working together, we can always pay attention to every detail, deal with every trifle and devote our love and care for next generation. As a typical example, the cooperative system of good habit forming is built to cultivate good habits of students in all aspects of life.

Teachers in Huamei Primary School have endeavored to develop the most suitable teaching mode for our students. Taking ‘Learning for Practice’ as a core idea, we carry out the ‘practical classroom teaching model’with changes in teaching structure and procedures.This teaching model greatly helps to create an active interaction between teachers and students or students and students, which results in a change from teacher-oriented teaching to student-oriented learning. This kind of learning in the classroom is more profound and valuable because students play an active role in absorbing, strengthening and increasing knowledge.For Chinese courses, in order to enhance their comprehensive capability in listening, speaking, reading and writing, we encourage students to read extensively, recite selected works and practice writing; while for Mathematics, teachers focus more on developing students’ interest as well as their logical thinking. We closely follow the progress of every student and facilitate their growth with love and patience.

Huamei, as an international school, offers our students more opportunities to approach authentic English. With Longman English and Cambridge English introduced to our program, students are able to enjoy an English proficiency higher than most average Chinese students. Besides the basic academic courses, a great variety of curricula and extracurricular activities are designed to meet the needs of students who want to expand their interests. Students can choose among the forty courses related to different fields of sports or arts and will be trained by professional coaches. Activities like these will enable students to have a good chance to progress and develop both physically and mentally.

The American GIA program has developed successfully during the last several years and we will continue to have GIA classes from Grade one to six in this coming school year.In this program, we follow the Chinese curriculum standards for Chinese language and Mathematics, and lessons are given by our Chinese teachers. As for American curriculum, we follow the American primary school curriculum standards. We use American GIA books and have internationally certified teachers as primary instructors. Our students study the courses and are tested so that they can receive American credits.

In the coming new school year, the German as a Second Foreign Language Program will still be provided from Grade four to six, with 1-2 specialized German classes formed in Grade 4 and 5 rather than elective course classes as in the previous years. This will surely help the students learn the German language more effectively and consistently.

Huamei School embraces difference and diversity. In addition to Chinese students, the number of international students, who come from more than ten countries and regions, including U.K., Canada, Indonesia and Korea and etc., has been rising greatly. Special Chinese courses have been specifically designed for international students and have proven to be a great success. This can be tracked through the development of their vocabulary. Their progress in learning and forming good habits after one year of study is really surprising. Additionally, international students are soon able to catch up with fellow students and enter into Chinese mainstream classes.

As a boarding school, all the students can not only enjoy the companionship and the happiness of their childhood, but also strengthen their communication skills, life skills and cultivate their independence in this collective environment.

It’s always a delight to witness the growth and development of every student under the education of Huamei School; and the students also witness Huamei’s evolving and advancing to a more well-renowned school.

Dear students, while teachers and parents are making joint effort for your education, we hope you will learn to behave appropriately and deal with problems by yourselves.  We hope you will study hard, voluntarily obey the school rules, and live happily; we hope you will treat both study and life with responsibility and strong determination, lead a thriving life, treat other students’ friendly, and face difficulties with courage and strong will.

Let’s respect each other, care about each other, and make progress together. With your efforts, I believe you can all make remarkable personal achievement and make the Huamei campus culture more vital and colorful as well.
