PKS students grow into bilingual, biliterate, and culturally fluent thinkers and doers, ready to take on academic challenges and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Overview

Learning at PKS is active, joyful, and deeply connected to the world around us. Our academic program creates an environment where students learn by asking questions, making discoveries, solving problems, collaborating with others, and reflecting on their learning. From early childhood through adolescence, we nurture students’ capacities to think, create, communicate, and engage with curiosity and confidence.

Our bilingual immersion program adds a rich dimension to learning. The majority of academic content is taught in Mandarin, giving students the opportunity to develop language through meaningful learning and authentic experiences across the curriculum. At the same time, our progressive approach emphasizes inquiry, project-based learning, student voice and choice, and connections beyond the classroom. Together, these approaches help students develop strong academic foundations and the global and intercultural competencies, resilience, collaboration, and independence they will carry with them into high school and beyond.

Our ambitious academic program calls on students to investigate big ideas through interdisciplinary projects and experiences. They take ownership of their learning and navigate challenges with intention.
