East meets West Curriculum

Community-based Learning Project: Practice “Do small, think big”

SUIS Peiming community-based projects are driven by dynamic thinking and rooted in real world learning. Focused on the spirit of “taking action”, students will journey through five stages of discovery: wonder, questioning, exploration, design and taking action.
At lower grades, students will gain experiences inside and outside the classroom about meaningful issues affecting their community and the world. From these experiences, they will develop curiosity to understand these issues more deeply. As study continues, students will explore these issues to form initial opinions and develop solutions. And in their final year, students will learn to apply principles of the design cycle to investigate how to best make an impact:
