Our collective goal for every child at Ren’ai Elementary School is to provide them with a safe and happy environment where they can flourish and obtain the most valuable and abundant rewards. With foresight into the future and an understanding of its trends, we aspire for children to succeed both at the starting point and the ultimate destination. Nurturing their strengths and abilities for the future is the shared vision and objective of every caregiver at Ren’ai Elementary School!
The vision and imagery of Ren’ai Elementary School are represented by the sun and flowers; specifically, a vibrant and passionate sunflower in full bloom! “ Cooperation ” and “ Creativity ” are the core values embedded in every aspect of the curriculum and activities that children participate in at the school. These values are symbolized by the cheerful laughter of children, represented by the letter “ C ”, signifying the collective efforts of teachers and students in creating a campus filled with wonder, creativity, and joy! The core concept of the “ CC ” learning framework aims to cultivate children’s valuable capabilities to pursue their future DREAM—D for Delightfulness, R for Reading Skill, E for Explorative Spirit, A for Artistic Creation, and M for Moral Character:
(1) Health and Well-being—Delightfulness
Health is a fundamental element of all achievements. Within the existing campus environment, we aim to develop and expand ample activity areas, fostering diverse physical education instruction. Our goal is for children to understand and improve their own physical fitness, which will enable them to care for the well-being and importance of health among their family members, peers, and friends. This will contribute to creating a vibrant and health-oriented campus, embodying the concept of “ Health and Well-being.”
(2) Deep Reading—Reading Skill
Reading is the fundamental basis for all learning. Our aim is to help children build the healthy habit of active reading and guide them to broaden their reading perspectives in diverse ways. This encompasses the development of fundamental reading and writing skills and extends to the appreciation of various performances. Furthermore, through parent-child shared reading and learning, we enhance parental involvement in education, enriching students’ reading experiences and stimulating profound emotional responses within their hearts!
(3) Life Exploration—Explorative Spirit
The two essential tools for exploring life are language and science. In particular, children will face a globalized and competitive environment in the future. To navigate these challenges, it is crucial for them to become proficient in both local and international languages and improve their understanding of information science and their capability to utilize it. This will enable them to extend their knowledge and understanding of global issues and explore the utilization of ecological resources, fostering a harmonious coexistence and prosperity with all living beings!
(4) Artistic Roots—Artistic Creation
Art has the power to nurture one’s temperament and enrich one’s life! Passing along traditional art and cultural heritage and enhancing the appreciation and care for them are the most significant values that Ren’ai promotes in traditional arts! Through diverse music and art clubs, we guide children to engage in art appreciation, integrating the elements of “ beauty ” into their life experiences and enhancing their overall artistic literacy!
(5) Moral Development—Moral character
The essence of moral education lies in its practical manifestation in life! Through experiences of self-governance and providing services, children are encouraged to actively participate in caring for the people and things around them. This stimulates their innate sensitivity to future environmental issues, fosters a sense of mission in promoting compassionate human interactions, cultivates positive and proactive thinking, and develops noble sentiments of respecting and caring for life! With the power of delightfulness, we achieve a healthy and joyful mind and body. With reading skills, we develop a knowledgeable and inquisitive temperament. With explorative spirit, we foster a mindset of curiosity and exploration. With artistic creation, we refine creativity and aesthetic sensibilities. With moral character, we fortify a positive attitude of active engagement and service. We look forward to each child making their own way and flourishing in their brilliance. On the diverse stage of Ren’ai Elementary School, they are bound to excel and shine!
