Teachers for Shu Ren Summer Camp

May 29, 2009 at 1:45 pm · Filed under Staff, Summer Camp

We are excited to have Ms. Ping Xue from Chinese American International School to teach our Pre-K summer camp. Ms. Xue has been teaching at CAIS for 14 years and is currently the Head Chinese Teacher in their Pre-K program. Our students will have a great opportunity to benefit from her years of experience teaching Mandarin in an immersion environment.

We are also pleased to have Ms. Yazhi He to teach the first two sessions of the summer camp for students in kindergarten and up. She currently teaches our after-school Chinese class and weekend classes in New Sprouts Chinese School in Oakland. The last two sessions of the summer camp will be taught by Ms. Joyce Chang, who will be our incoming 1st/2nd grade teacher in the fall. Ms. Chang currently teaches Mandarin at Garfield Elementary School in San Francisco.

If you have not yet signed up for the summer camp, this may be the last opportunity to do so. More information and registration forms can be found on the Shu Ren website. Please contact Jie Moore at jie.moore@shureninternationalschool.com if you have any questions. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you this summer.

Upcoming Shu Ren events

January 7, 2009 at 4:44 am · Filed under Admissions

Happy New Year! Shu Ren is beginning 2009 with a number of events to give interested families an opportunity to learn more about our school and programs.

First, we will hold our final open house next Saturday, January 10, from 4-6 pm. During the first hour, head of school Jie Moore will discuss the International Baccalaureate Organization, its philosophy, and how we teach Mandarin within the framework of the IB curriculum. For families who are not familiar with this internationally-recognized curriculum framework, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about why Shu Ren chose to use it for our students.

On Saturday, January 24, from 10 am – 1 pm, Shu Ren will participate in the East Bay Moms’ Preschool & Childhood Resource Fair at the Scottish Rite Center at Lake Merritt, Oakland. Please join us there to learn more about our programs as well as those of other area schools. For more information, please see the East Bay Moms website. Directions to the Scottish Rite Center are here.

Finally, Save the Date for Shu Ren’s Chinese New Year Celebration to welcome the Year of the Ox! It will be held at our campus on the afternoon of Saturday, January 31. The exact time and schedule will be announced later. Please join us for a Shu Ren student performance, and to learn more about our Mandarin immersion program for Pre-K to 2nd grade and our after-school programs. We will post more information closer to the date.

[We originally wrote the wrong date for the Chinese New Year Celebration. It will actually be held January 31, not 24th. We apologize for the error.]

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in January!
