Teachers
The most important part of the value of Meiga Education is teachers and the support and encouragement they provide for students. Over 190 talented and committed teachers, the great majority of whom hold advanced degrees and 20% of whom are senior lecturers, maintain active roles in their fields and ensure that students receive a leading education with social skills and strong foundation in character development. Meiga Academy has a low student teacher ratio and small classes so that students enjoy coaching, mentoring and caring in every possible way. Many teachers are awarded prizes and titles by local educational authorities.
Academic Program
Meiga Academy offers all the curriculum designed by the national ministry of education and at the same time provides Meiga-originated compulsory and elective courses. Here are some examples:
The Chinese traditional Primers
Students get up at dawn and read aloud the collection of the best Chinese traditional primers, i.e. The primer classic in Three-character Lines, Pupils’ Rules and Disciplines, Zhu Family Instructions and The Thousand Character Writing, etc. We develop new methods of reading primers—reading with vocal accompaniment, with musical accompaniment and with dancing accompaniment. Many lines of the primers are often on the lips of the children.
English Program
The program is based on authentic material from a variety of reliable sources and brings the real world to the classroom. The talented teachers shift the emphasis from grammar to communication skills, especially listening and speaking. Interesting and relaxing classroom activities and tasks extend the language in meaningful context and enable students to learn more effectively. Extensive Reading program guided by professors of Beijing Foreign Studies University is popular with students and encourages student fluency and confidence. Varied extra-curriculum activities, such as English corner, English party and competitions, foster the joy of learning and add to the attractions of the program.
Academic Achievements
Ever since 2008, we have been taking a great pride in our graduates’ success. 6 Meiga graduates tied for first place in the Wuhan Metropolitan Matriculation Examination. 68% of the students were enrolled by Key senior schools. 100% of the students completed the junior middle school course of study with satisfactory records. In 2010 two students got the first five places in a provincial English-speech Contest.
Balance of academics, ethics, arts and athletics
We attach great importance to ethical basis for education. Traditional virtues such as loyalty, courage, truthfulness, charity, justice ground everything that students do and make them gentlemen and ladies who behave well towards other people and act graciously and honorably. Our club and association program of arts and athletics help students discover new talents and make the joy of learning surround our students.
Campus and Facilities
From the playgrounds and gymnasium, to the arts centre, library, the spacious classroom building, the comfortable dormitory, and the gorgeous campus, Meiga Academy students are afforded a wide range of campus resources to embrace challenges within well-designed curriculum and rich extra-curriculum activities.
