School Description
JadeClass is an English language training center that provides English enrichment education to bright Chinese students who plan on attending university abroad. Our students vary in age from 6-16, and are carefully screened for English level, behavior, and motivation. We select only the most motivated students and help them not only achieve success in testing but also in adapting to a Western-style learning atmosphere—a model we have been perfecting since our founding in 2008.
Our current program offerings include small-group classes in ESL, literature, creative writing, science, mathematics, social studies, and history.
We are seeking talented educators to collaborate with our existing team of teachers and curriculum designers. In particular, this person will have experience teaching middle and high school history courses and will be able to help us revise and expand our history curriculum.
