Teaching beliefs and approaches

We promote entrepreneurial spirit through progressive education. We love shaking things up, trying new ideas and challenging stereotypical norms.

We believe real learning happens when you get your hands dirty. It’s not only about classrooms, books, or examinations, but it’s also about understanding the real life problems and finding innovative solutions. We, thus seek students who are productively noisy, who are not afraid of asking questions and who love getting their hands dirty. We are guided by the philosophy that students learn best when they are connected to the social realities outside the four walls of classrooms.

This belief is also manifested in our teaching model and curriculum, based on the continuous assessment system. This is a rigorous, challenging, yet adventurous system which empowers students to acquire both academic proficiency and entrepreneurial mindset.

Besides entrepreneurship, we also encourage students to pursue their careers in business and inspire them to follow their passion in other fields. Regardless of the fields they choose, we guide them to inquire, innovate, and find solutions.
