Their Adventures.

The Shu Ren Student Council plays a crucial role in representing the voices of elementary students, fostering community, and supporting school life. As a bridge between students and staff, council members share ideas and concerns, help organize school events, promote spirit and inclusion, and support fundraisers or service projects. They are expected to lead by example with positive attitudes, respect, responsibility, teamwork, and enthusiasm. Guided by the values of integrity, empathy, fairness, and service, student council members demonstrate strong character as they work to improve the school for everyone. Through clear communication and collaboration, they act as role models who inspire kindness, school pride, and meaningful participation.

Our Afternoon Care program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for students after the school day ends. It’s a comfortable space where children can relax, play, and connect with friends while supported by our caring staff.

Afternoon Care includes:

• Outdoor Play: Weather permitting, students enjoy fresh air and active playtime that encourages movement and fun.

• Healthy Snacks (Pre-K & TK only): Nutritious snacks help younger students recharge and stay energized.

• Indoor Activities: Creative games and engaging activities give children a chance to explore and unwind.

• Caring Supervision: Trained staff ensure a secure, supportive setting, giving families peace of mind.

At Shu Ren, we’re proud to create a supportive space where students can strengthen their Mandarin language skills every day. Homework Club is open to all Kindergarten through 5th grade students and provides dedicated help with Mandarin assignments.

​

Held after school from 3:30 PM to 4:10 PM, Homework Club gives children the focused support they need to succeed and grow. With guidance from our passionate and highly trained teachers, students build confidence, reinforce their learning, and develop the skills to reach their full potential.

Shu Ren’s Vacation Camps offer a fun, engaging way for your child to keep growing in Mandarin—whether it’s continuing their progress or simply spending quality time with friends in a welcoming, academic setting.

During camp, students experience full Mandarin immersion that goes far beyond the traditional classroom. They actively learn by interacting with peers of different ages in a close-knit environment, discovering language and concepts that connect to their everyday lives. By the end of the week, your child will feel more confident and ready to communicate with the wider Mandarin-speaking community.

At Shu Ren, many of our students enjoy a wide range of after-school enrichment activities in both Mandarin and English. For our early childhood learners, families can choose from fun and creative options like paper art, creative movement, yoga, soccer, and science exploration.

​

In elementary school, students have exciting opportunities to join clubs and classes such as chess, art impact, mathletes, kidtrepreneurs, soccer, and more. Our offerings evolve each semester based on family interests and teacher availability, ensuring a rich variety of ways for children to discover new passions and grow their skills.

Our Visual Arts program nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and intercultural understanding through hands-on art-making. Students are encouraged to push their creative boundaries, experiment visually, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them. In collaboration with grade-level teachers, the program integrates classroom learning into the arts, cultivating imaginative and skilled artists who are collaborative, reflective, and lifelong learners of the arts.

At Shu Ren International School, our Orff-based music curriculum engages children from Pre-K through 5th grade in joyful, hands-on music-making. Through singing, movement, speech, and instruments, students build a strong foundation in rhythm, melody, and harmony while developing their creativity and collaboration skills. Improvisation and composition are central, allowing each child to express their own musical ideas. This playful and experiential approach nurtures confidence, musicality, and a lifelong love of music.

At Shu Ren, the PSPE (Personal, Social, and Physical Education) program is designed to support students’ physical health, social-emotional growth, and overall well-being. Guided by our dedicated PE teacher, who is also a skilled Judo master, students not only engage in a variety of physical activities but also receive unique coaching in Judo. Through this practice, they build strength, balance, and discipline while also learning important values such as respect, perseverance, and empathy. By blending physical education with character development, PSPE at Shu Ren empowers students to lead healthy, confident, and compassionate lives.

At Shu Ren, our bilingual library is an essential part of teaching and learning, seamlessly integrated with the Units of Inquiry to support research, exploration, and discovery. The library provides a rich collection of both Chinese and English books, fostering literacy and a love of reading in two languages. Students benefit from guided reading and leveled reading programs that help them grow as confident, independent readers. In addition, the library organizes engaging community events such as World Book Week and the Reading Marathon, inspiring students to celebrate stories, deepen their curiosity, and build lifelong reading habits.
