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!
