A Specialized Academic Enrichment Program
Junior Scholar, which is the first stage of Legend’s Scholar Program, is a specialized academic enrichment program with a focus of delivering academic results through engaging lessons and interactive teaching methods, conducted by supportive teachers. It starts with an engaging curriculum that stimulates students’ intellectual curiosity. To broaden their knowledge base and make learning enjoyable, varieties of high interest topics in the areas of children literature, science, and social studies are included to enrich the curriculum of Reading, Writing, and Math.
While retention of information is important, it is essential for students to learn applications. This can only be achieved through active learning, such as discussions, team projects, and hands-on activities. It is also our belief that students’ academic capacity should be developed to the fullest. JSP offers the academic vitality to stimulate intellectual curiosity and empower him/her to move full steam ahead.
