HSINCHU, Sept. 24, 2020 — With the transformation of school curriculum underway, the way students learn are becoming more diverse and internationalized. The 108-curriculum set by the Ministry of Education allows educators to select various learning methods freely to invigorate the rigid education system in Taiwan. With an aim to provide innovative classes for students, Karl International Experimental Education Institute and Johan International Experimental Education Institute adopt creative and effective class designs, and deliver those classes with experienced teachers from around the globe. Through hands-on learning, students are encouraged to thinking critically, develop problem-solving skills, and embrace diversity.
Over the summer Karl and Johan Schools in Zhubei, Hsinchu offered 3 summer camps that were sold-out and highly praised by parents and students alike. Bilingual classes were designed and carried out by local Taiwanese teachers and foreign teachers together in order to provide a comprehensive learning experience that connects different aspects on a given topic. Not only can students immerse in amusing themes, but also learn effectively in different academic areas. The first summer camp, held at Karl, centered around artificial intelligence (AI) and Python in the morning, followed by culture and science in the afternoon. The second summer camp was held at Johan elementary and allowed children from grades 1 to 6 to travel the world and visit ancient empires like ancient Egypt and China. Children were also able to make and enjoy different cuisines from around the globe. The third and final summer camp combined English speaking classes that focuses on topics like music, movies, and TV in the morning, with equestrian classes every afternoon for two weeks.

Jessica W. (Parent): "This was the first time my child joined Johan’s summer camp. She came home happy everyday, and told us about the vocabulary, maker, art, music, cooking classes she had each day, not to mention the many new friends she has made in school. Thanks to Karl and Johan Experimental Education for their dedication, they truly are a different school.
Parents: "The classes are fulfilling and interesting. Students were motivated to learn, and they truly learn as they play. Teachers were passionate. We love it!"
Student: "The classes were exciting, unlike the other summer camp out there. It was fun!"
The bilingual summer camps at Karl and Johan schools had been carefully designed to offer hands-on learning experiences and arouse students’ passion in learning. Experienced teachers from 15 different countries regularly participates in course development sessions to design teaching materials. During the regular school year, Karl school also offer different pathways that students can take to continue their undergraduate studies locally and internationally. They believe students can learn effectively only if they become self-motivated and passionate about learning. Education is no longer just a one-way street; through the help of experimental schools in Taiwan, teaching becomes more flexible, and students become independent learners.
