Based on the Chinese National Curriculum, our academic courses encompass three divisions, namely, Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), Science, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM), and Performance, Production, and Design Division (P2D2), integrate international standards such as AP, GAC, IB, NGSS, and rigorously develop students’ cognitive skills such as critical thinking and creativity through deeper and project-based learning. Our curriculum adopts CBE (Competency-based Education) learning model with the following characteristics.
GoFuture Planning is a three-year program that reframes the traditional college counseling process to better develop students’ readiness for their college experiences and beyond. The competencies emphatically cultivated through this program include Understanding of Self, Research-Based Argumentation, Reflective Practice, and Value-Aligned Decision-Making. We employ the applied research findings of Positive Psychology and psycho-educational assessments in order to support students’ exploration of their Sweet Spot (the intersection of one’s advantages, interests and values) and identity construction as they plan for their futures.
GoYungu High School created the Capstone Program in collaboration with IDEO, the world-famous design firm. Capstone is a multifaceted, extensive assignment that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience for students. It can be demonstrated in the form of a final product, presentation, or performance.
