summer enrichment Program

The Summer Enrichment Program was a free program offered to aISG students as an extension to their learning in response to the school’s closure due to the COvId-19 pandemic. The program provided opportunities to explore, create and learn in a fun, safe, and social environment.

there were two, two-week sessions, one from June 15 through June 26 and the other from July 27 through august 7. the program offered both oncampus and online courses to Preschool through grade 11 students and both were well attended with a total of 570 students.

the summer enrichment Program offered many diverse courses for our elementary school students, such as stem challenges, storytelling, learning Plus, language arts, and art and movement. for middle school and high school students, many interesting courses were also offered, such as Behavioral Psychology, studio art, Business studies, Writing and editing, and innovation and Design.

hiromi sawamura, who led this program and is also an aisg elementary school counselor, says, “i feel very fortunate that we were able to hold the summer enrichment Program during this unique time. it was made possible by the concerted effort of all the staff and teachers, who were both on the ground and online. looking back, the program was organized only one month into the school reopening. it was amazing how we were able to pull together all the available resources and provide students, both within guangzhou and outside of china, a valuable learning experience. i hope it has been a memorable summer for our students as it certainly has to me.”
