First Grade Homeroom Teacher in CBP

I see the addition of the CBP as an opportunity to grow as an educator, which allows me to highlight my expertise in areas as a homeroom teacher and an EAL teacher, but most importantly to be part of something new at SIS.

Shekou International School (SIS) is pleased to announce the introduction of the Chinese Bilingual Programme for the 22-23 school year in grades 1 to 5. The Chinese Bilingual Programme is for families looking for a balanced Mandarin/English bilingual programme.  

Students in the Chinese Bilingual Programme (CBP) will spend 40% of their instruction time in Mandarin while the other 60% will be in English. Students from all programs will be part of the PYP which includes assemblies, field trips, grade level provocations as well as recess and the Co-Curricular programme. 

Under the PYP framework, Chinese language & Literature will follow the national curriculum and use the same textbooks that are used in Chinese public schools.

  • Develop critical thinking skills in both languages to become better problem solvers.  

  • Improve future career prospects.  

  • Connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds effectively.  

  • Become better communicators.
