About Edgemont Enrichment
In the purpose of improving the young students’ quality of after-school time, after thoughtful discussions and planning in the past few months, the 2016 Fall program was ready to welcome new students. The goal of the program is not only to improve students’ basic language and literacy in Chinese; students will also be exposed to the Chinese culture, history, and the humanities in a fun and relaxed learning environment. The interactive lessons will inspire students the power of team work, that will benefit them in making more friends and broader knowledge. We hope the skills and knowledge learned in this program will promote positive impact on students’ school performance. It can be fully effective use of after-school time to expand horizons and knowledge students after school.
The enrichment program is a play & learn program where students will be exposed to educational elements in a fun learning environment.
