Curriculum
Besides the required courses, students can choose from more than 30 electives (including philosophy, German, French, Japanese, astronomy, robotics, chess, Model United Nations, Odyssey of the Mind, Junior Achievement courses,etc. ) and specialized physical education courses (including Taekwondo, swimming, basketball, etc.)
The electives can only be selected once in a year, meaning a student can only pick and stick to one of the electives, which takes place only one period a week in designated time in the entire school year.
The school hast programs in Mathematics, Science and English. The students enrolled in the mathematics and science programs have a slightly different curriculum, often with their core courses being taught by the best teachers, and their mathematics and science lessons being a lot more advanced than the rest of the school. The other program is called English Experimental Class.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
