IVY ACADEMY or formaldehyde, and a blank space design providing children with a large “canvas” for their imagination. Special classrooms with different functions are located in each floor. The most unique of them all is the children’s library. In the library, we have sunken internal design, well-arranged reading nooks and areas, cushions, as well as innovative cloud lighting. Every detail provides children with a diverse reading experience. In addition, there is a miniature golf course on the roof and a light- shadow classroom that are full of surprises, waiting for parents and children to explore. Curriculum Setting Based on the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) of Harvard Graduate School of Education, the curriculum of Futian Campus is set up not only in line with children development standards in North America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Hongkong, and Taiwan, but also according China standards. Our curriculum also consists of specialty courses taught by professional teachers— Orff Music, PE (like swimming and skating), cooking, planting, and art. As Ivy Education Group’s first international kindergarten in Shenzhen, Futian Campus is committed to individualized quality education to develop children’s multiple intelligences. At Futian Campus, we are also committed to teaching in English based on MI with highly qualified teachers in small-sized classes, just like our current Ivy Academy schools in Beijing. Faculty Each class in Futian Campus has no more than 25 children, taught and well cared for by two Chinese teachers, one foreign teacher and a caregiver. All of our teachers have a bachelor’s degree or above. Some of them are responsible for curriculum development. Other teachers can also participate in workshops after their daily teaching to learn more about curriculum development and corresponding teaching methods. “There is no best kindergarten in the world; only one that best suits your child.” A suitable kindergarten can not only teach children a wealth of knowledge, but most importantly, taps into children’s potential. For those children who are fond of exploring, dare to try and like to ask “one hundred thousand whys”, Futian Campus is the best choice!
