Our Global Track After School program is designed for students aged 3-14 and operates on weekday afternoons and weekends. Teachers work with several smaller classes (5-15 students) that each meet 1-3 times per week. Teachers work on a team with bilingual Chinese Teaching Assistants (TAs) who assist in classroom management and communication when necessary. Global Track classes are designed to be high-tempo and dynamic with a focus on fun as well as language acquisition.
At Global Track, students have the ability to compliment a classroom-based education with experiences focused on physical education, the arts, culinary experiences, and scientific experiments. Each of these different classes has a dedicated area in our state-of-the-art campus facilities. Gyms are stocked with sports equipment, kitchens with supplies for young chefs, and our studios have charcoal, armatures, brushes, paint and other necessary supplies so that teachers can explore different possibilities with different materials.
We use several internationally renowned materials in our language arts program: Side By Side Listening and Speaking, Reading A-Z, and Words Their Way Phonics, to name a few. We are especially excited about the creation of our own GT Activity Workbooks!
