schools in China with a tradition of academic excellence and rigor. Our first

more—with an overall acceptance of nearly 100% to Top 50 U.S.
universities.   

Our elementary classrooms are taught by two teachers-one Subject Expert
Teacher (SET) and one Learning Expert Teacher (LET).

BASIS International Humanities Teachers are able to focus their teaching on
teaching phonics, reading, and humanities. They work collaboratively with
Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) to cultivate a joyful learning culture where
hard work is celebrated and where intellectual pursuits result in
extraordinary student outcomes. At the elementary level, LETs help you focus
on instruction while they ensure individual student understanding according
to student needs. As an Elementary Teacher, it is primarily your
responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject specific lesson
plans and to teach creative thinking and problem solving.

Humanities teachers establish a solid foundation of language and social
science skills and knowledge. Language Arts topics covered include beginnings
of reading and writing, reading comprehension, writing process, and much
more. Some humanities topics covered include world history, American
history, and beginnings of geographic awareness. These broad and varied
areas of study give elementary teachers the ability to approach the material
in new and creative ways, while providing students with a broad knowledge
base to build upon.
