*Why BASIS International Schools?     *

BASIS International & Bilingual Schools is a rapidly growing network of
schools in China with a tradition of academic excellence and rigor. Our first
school opened in Shenzhen in 2015 and since then we have opened schools in
Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu and Wuhan, with two new schools coming
in Shenzhen in 2024.     

Our graduates have been accepted into some of the most prestigious colleges
and universities in the world, including Princeton, Oxford, Cornell, Imperial
College London, MIT, University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins, and many
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 Primary Teachers are able to focus their teaching on
teaching phonics, math, science, 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.

Primary 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. In math and science lessons, you will
incorporate practical uses for math and science in daily life. 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.

* Prepare subject-specific lessons for primary-aged students.
* Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an

engineering, history, and more) and skills to heighten the trajectory of
students’ academic and career success.
* Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal
responsibility, intellect and individuality in all students.
