basic Chinese language communication skills and cultural appreciation.

3. Math (CreaM and CAMP)

a. Creative Mathematics Program (CREAM)
The program is committed to providing the students with opportunities to
develop their mathematical skills and abilities. The program also aims to
provide the students with the functional knowledge and skills needed to solve
problems they will encounter in everyday life. Once the students have
acquired the necessary skills, the school shall then provide opportunities for
students to apply the acquired Math knowledge in everyday situations and
develop an understanding of the part Math plays in the world around them.

b. Comprehensive and Accelerated Mathematics Program (CAMP)

The program is intended for the high school students of Southville
International School and Colleges as a continuation of the CreaM program
implemented in the Grade School division. Students should have the ability to
do any mathematical work: Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, or
even Calculus. A comprehensive Mathematics program is thus necessary to
achieve this goal

4. Applied Science Curriculum (ASC)

Cognizant of the pressing needs of the times and in line with the national
policy of making instruction in Science more practical and relevant, the
Science Department is adopting the Applied Science Curriculum (ASC)
Program. It revolves around the philosophy of constructivism, a belief that all
students should take responsibility for themselves and find meaning in what
they are doing through active learning experiences, rather than being barraged
with concepts and information.

It presents science not as an inert body of knowledge to be assimilated but
rather as a process of inquiry and a way to make sense of our world.
