Habor Academy Curriculum

　　At Habor Academy, we believe in integrating the best American practices with the traditional Chinese values. Apart from theoretical knowledge, our teaching methods as well as our textbook collections emphasize on the application of knowledge, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Our curriculum is designed to address the different stages of learning in our students’ lives.

　　Learning at Harbor Academy continues in our extracurricular program. Neighboring the unique Wutong Arts and cultural Village, we bring the artists to our classrooms, and classrooms to life. The extracurricular program aims to motivate students to engage in all kinds of hands on activities; to build a sense of student commitment and community, fostering social skills and collaboration.

　　哈博學校課程設置

　　哈博學校，是一所融合了中西教育理念的學校。我們的教學方法和教材選擇不僅為學生提供理論知識的源泉，更著重于培養知識的運用、相互協作、創造力和思辯能力。我們的課程設置旨在滿足學生在不同階段的學習需求。

　　哈博學校開設了豐富多彩的實踐課程，毗鄰梧桐山藝術小鎮的優越地理位置，讓課堂、藝術和生活融為一體。實踐課程不僅讓學生參與各式各樣的活動，還培養學生的社會責任感、團隊協作溝通能力。

　　Elementary School Curriculum

　　The Elementary School at Habor Academy includes grades 1 through 5. Our commitment is to challenge our students intellectually, help them grow socially, guide them toward independent thinking, and develop advanced problem-solving skills. These skills will help prepare them not only for our excellent Secondary program but also for life in the future.

　　Students spend 3~4 periods a day studying Language Arts with a native English speaker who is also a certified elementary school teacher. “Our World” published by National Geographic Learning is our choice of English textbook. “Our World” consists of age-appropriate National Geographic content, especially in the areas of human and social geography, that motivates and excites young students and helps them use English as a tool to learn about and interact with the world. In addition to English, students have Chinese and Mathematics once a day that follow strictly with the Chinese national curriculum. Even with the strong emphasis on English language study, we do not wish students to replace Chinese with English. We want students to be bilingual from a young age. Students also have Physical Education, Music and Art each twice a week.

　　小學課程設置

　　在小學，我們的教育宗旨在開發學生智力，引導他們獨立思考，鼓勵學生自主解決問題，提高社交能力。這些技能不僅為他們將來進入優秀的哈博中學打基礎，更為他們未來的生活做準備。

　　哈博學校小學部包含1 ~ 5年級。學生每天在老師的帶領下學習3 ~ 4個小時英語。學校聘請的老師都有教師資格證并且他們的母語都是英語。我們的英語教材是由美國國家地理學習出版的 “Our World”。“Our World”是一套適合小學階段使用的綜合性英語教材。書中有趣又真實的國家地理內容，能夠激發學生的學習動力，讓英語成為學習知識和與世界互動的工具。除了英語課，每天開設的一節語文課和一節數學課都嚴格遵循中國教育大綱的要求。即使我們著重強調英語學習，但我們并不希望學生用英語取代漢語而是有能力雙語交流。

　　Middle School Curriculum

　　The Middle School at Habor Academy includes grades 6 through 8. The Middle School program has been developed to meet the specific needs of this unique group of students creating a bridge between Elementary School and High School. Students remain in Homeroom groupings while rotating through subject classes taught by Middle School subject teachers. Dual Educational System is being implemented into our middle school program. At Habor Academy, students have the luxury of following either the Chinese National Curriculum to prepare themselves for Zhong Kao, or the American Common Core Curriculum in order to continue their post-secondary education in America or having a taste of both educational systems.

　　Our English textbook “Impact” by National Geographic Learning helps teenagers to better understand themselves, each other, and the world they live in. National Geographic Explorers are included in every chapter of the book. They are featured as role models who embody the 21st century skills and values. Cross-curricular topics engage students with stimulating information about the world, better preparing them for future academic success.

　　初中課程設置

　　哈博學校初中部包含6 ~ 8年級。初中課程以滿足這一特定年齡段群體的需求而設置，為銜接小學和高中做穩固的橋梁。學生們既在本班教室學習，同時也走班學習其他課程。我們初中貫徹雙軌教育體制。學生既可以學習中國國內課程后參加中考，也可學習美國核心課程體系課程為今后去美國學習做準備，或者同時體驗中美兩種教育體系。

　　我們采用的英語教材是由美國國家地理學習出版社出版的“Impact” 。它幫助青少年更好地了解自己，了解彼此及他們生活的世界。這套教材的每個單元都引入一個國家地理探險家的故事。他們的真實經歷為青少年成為具有領導力的世界公民樹立良好的榜樣。書中文章具有極強的學科交叉性，在學習英語的同時，學生也能了解到有趣的科學及人文知識。

　　High School Curriculum

　　The High School program, which begins in Grade 9, leads to the American High School Diploma and, in turn, for our graduates, acceptance into universities throughout the world. Habor Academy graduates are well-prepared for post-secondary education and are actively recruited by universities in America because of the well-rounded education they have received. Students are required, in addition to completing mandatory credits, to become active members in the community by completing a minimum of 40 community service hours, and are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities.

　　Literacy plays an important role in the High School program across all subjects and the development and improvement of literacy skills are integrated into all courses. In addition, our English as a Second Language (ESL) Program has been developed to meet the needs of those students who prepare themselves for international standardized testing. Through immersion in the ESL Program, High School students are able to work towards attaining credits for graduation while developing the English literacy skills that are necessary to succeed in meeting curriculum expectations at grade level.

　　The emphasis on developing literacy skills is further implemented in Public Speaking, a required course to take at Habor Academy. We choose “Keynote” as our instructional guide. “Keynote” is the result of collaboration between “National Geographic Learning” and “TED Talks.” Featuring remarkable people communicating passionately and persuasively, TED Talks provides inspiring ideas and an unparalleled source of authentic language. “Keynote” invites students to explore life-changing stories for a deeper understanding of the world, developing the confidence and skills needed to express themselves powerfully and proficiently in English.

　　高中課程設置

　　從9年級開始學生進入高中課程學習，畢業后獲得美國高中文憑繼而可以申請世界各地的大學。學生除了完成必修學分外，還必須參加不少于40個小時的社區服務，以培養公民意識以及奉獻精神。學校同時還鼓勵學生參加豐富的課外活動。

　　綜合語言能力直接影響一個人的文化底蘊和思想深度。哈博高中課程把語言能力的培養貫穿到了所有課程當中。此外，英語作為第二語言(ESL)課程的開設旨在滿足學生國際標化考試的需要。ESL課程能夠幫助學生優質高效完成畢業所需的學分。

　　哈博注重語言能力的培養在公共演講課中得到進一步地體現。公共演講課是哈博學校的必修課。我們選擇《Keynote》作為我們的教學指南。《Keynote》是“美國國家地理學習”與“TED演說”內容的完美結合。教材提供了激勵人心的觀點及無與倫比的真實語料，引導學生探索改變終生的故事，從而幫助學生更深刻地理解世界、培養信心和技能，使之能夠高效、流利地表達自己。

　　全面系統的教育讓哈博畢業生們為以后的高等教育做好了充分的準備，因此受到美國各大學的歡迎。
