Each Summer, Jia Hua School of Montreal runs a new series of summer program programs called “Theme Summer Camp”. This is because we firmly believe that creativity and imagination are as crucial as maths and language skills in our kids’ education. We further believe that summer months should not only be filled with fun and enjoyment, but also be the period when children are able to learn, to explore and even to grasp something usually lacking during regular school days, but extremely important in the development of children’s intellectual and physical well-being. Here are the five new “Theme Camps” for you to consider and many more are coming:

Yu Peng’s New Concept Children Art Camp
Albert Einstein once said: ”Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Yu Peng is a firm believer of this philosophy. Graduated from Central China Normal University, he has been in the fore front of children visual art education for many years, both in China and in Canada. His teaching technique is, as he puts it, something out of the ordinary, in a way, more emphasizing on setting stages for child’s imagination rather than telling them what to think and what to draw. So, join Yu Peng this summer and see how he is going to assist and encourage children to observe, to feel and to create beauty through a work of art.

Zhi Mei’s Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Camp
If you prefer your child spending this summer in a rather unique way by exploring a very different and foreign art form, how about participating Zhi Mei’s Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Camp and to learn how to paint and draw with a round tipped brush, the Chinese way. Zhi Mei is a true master of Chinese painting education. She taught at Faculty of Art, Sichuan University and has been an art teacher at Jia Hua for many years. It is guaranteed that through 8 weeks of intensive learning and practising, your child will be able to show you some works you can never imagine a child can do.

Xiao Ren’s Go Chess Camp
Go Chess is described as another jewel on the crown of ancient Chinese culture. How long it has been played and by how many people today? It is not easy to know. Some say Go Chess, created in China more than 4000 years ago, has always been the past time activity in history and is today played by tens of millions in China and around world. Xiao Ren was a professional Go Chess player and held the 5th Duan grade, also served as head coach for the China National Youth Go Chess Team before coming to Canada.  Today, she is one of the handful top professional players and Go Chess educators in North America.

Ai Min’s Ping Pong Camp
Ping pong is considered as the national game in China simply because this country dominates the sport in the world for decades and is the most vastly participated sport in China as well. Ai Min used to coach the Zhejiang Provincial Ping Pong Team, and at Jia Hua, he devotes all his efforts as to promote the sport and to train young and enthusiastic Ping Pong lovers. His goal is to promote this popular sport to the level that one day, Jia Hua Ping Pong Team will be able to compete not only in the province, but in the country, and even in China.

Intensive  English and French Camp
As English proverb “Practice makes perfect” goes, there is no short cut in learning a language. If you want to improve your child’s English or French effectively, joining an intensive summer camp, which devotes all the effort helping children in the language training, is the best way. Jia Hua has teachers with tremendous experience and dedication and results is guaranteed.
