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!

Letter from Jie Moore: New Tuition and Admissions Structure, and Save the Date!

August 15, 2008 at 12:25 am · Filed under Admissions, Facilities ·Tagged , ,

Dear Friends of Shu Ren:

Greetings! The renovation of Shu Ren is going very well and we expect to complete it at the end of this month. We are confident that we will be able to open our school in early September. Considering the fact that we just located this site in March, it will be an incredible accomplishment to be able to open within six months! The exact day may vary depending on the City inspection and Community Care Licensing.

I also want to let you all know that we have made some significant changes to the admissions process & our tuition/fees structure. The main motivation is to meet the diverse needs of parents and make the admission process more streamlined.

Finally, please save the date! We are planning to celebrate our Grand Opening on September 20, 2008. You are all invited to the celebration. On Grand Opening Day, you will have an opportunity to tour our beautiful campus, talk to school administrators and teachers, and meet other parents who share similar interests and a passion for Mandarin immersion education. It will be a wonderful occasion for all of us to get together.

We hope that Shu Ren International School will become a Center in the East Bay for Chinese immersion education and Chinese cultural activities. Our success also relies on your support and involvement. We are constantly seeking feedback from parents about how we may improve our school. If you have any suggestion about our program, ideas about possible new classes and so on, I would love to hear them.
Thank you,
Jie Moore
