The study of optional creative courses in high schools

The main thought of the courses:

The idea is “it is based on the lifelong development of students”

The purpose is “students are the main body, and shall be respected and paid attention to”

The aim is “to fully develop the abilities of students”

The goal is “to have students explore, practice and work in team””

The evaluation standard is “to have students develop themselves in every way”

Six kinds of courses:

　To develop sentiment

　To develop creative ability

　To strengthen one's body and mind

　To improve one's skills

　To understand culture about different countries, races, or religions

　To make a plan for one's life

Now we offer more than 60 courses. The teachers who teach and develop the courses include our own teachers, working staff and some experts from outside the school.

Our courses were developed at the end of 2003 and started in September of 2004 among the students in Senior One. And with the appearance of new courses for junior students in Tianjin, junior students in our school have such courses too.
