Introduction to Shanghai Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten
Shanghai Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten (hereinafter referred to as Minhang X.L.X) is a high-end international bilingual IB kindergarten rooted in Zhuanqiao Town, Minhang District. With its distinct educational positioning, high-quality curriculum system and rare certification qualifications, it has become an excellent choice for early childhood education in the region, building a growth platform for children to connect with the world and explore the future.
In 2021, Minhang X.L.X officially obtained the official IB certification. It not only joined the ranks of the few IB PYP certified kindergartens in Shanghai, but also became the first and only IB PYP certified kindergarten in southern Minhang District. Behind this certification is a strong proof that the kindergarten meets international advanced standards in various aspects such as educational philosophy, curriculum design and teaching implementation. It also enables families in southern Minhang District to choose high-quality preschool education resources in line with international educational perspectives for their children without crossing regional boundaries.
Zhuanqiao Town, Minhang District, where the kindergarten is located, has the unique label of "Aerospace Town". It is not only a gathering place for high-tech industries, but also a hub for scientific and technological innovation talents. The spirit of scientific and technological innovation has long been integrated into all aspects of community development, forming a strong atmosphere of innovative culture. This cultural soil closely connected with the future has injected more "future attributes" into the international education of X.L.X Kindergarten. Children can be indirectly influenced by innovative thinking in daily life, and the surrounding industrial environment also provides a rich practical background for the kindergarten to carry out inquiry-based activities, making the educational concept of "oriented to the future" no longer abstract, but tangible and accessible.
In terms of educational resource support, Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten is affiliated to the powerful Yuxin Education Group, which serves as an important guarantee for its high-quality education. Yuxin Education is headquartered in Minhang District and has many schools and kindergartens in Shanghai, including Liaoyuan Bilingual School (primary and junior high school), Liaoyuan Senior High School (private general senior high school + international curriculum class), Pudong X.L.X Kindergarten and X.L.X Xiaomiao Kindergarten. All of these institutions have obtained official IB certification, making Yuxin Education the only education group in Shanghai whose affiliated schools and kindergartens all hold IB certification. This "full-system IB teaching and research advantage" means that Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten can share teaching and research resources, synchronize educational concepts and learn from mature experience with other IB kindergartens and schools within the group, making the implementation of IB education in the kindergarten more professional and systematic. In addition, Yuxin Education also has cooperative schools in Connecticut (the United States), Ontario (Canada) and Singapore, which reserves a broad space for the kindergarten to carry out international exchanges and expand children's global vision in the future.
The curriculum system is the core carrier of the kindergarten's educational quality. Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten has innovatively built an integrated curriculum of "IB PYP + Shanghai Second-round Curriculum Reform". On the one hand, it deeply integrates the educational concept of IB PYP (International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme), focusing on the all-round development of children and the cultivation of lifelong learning ability. On the other hand, it strictly follows the concept of Shanghai Second-round Curriculum Reform, which is "based on the all-round and sustainable development of students", to ensure that children achieve comprehensive and solid basic development in areas such as language, society, science, art and health. This integration is not a simple superposition, but an organic combination of the advantages of both. The localized foundation of the Second-round Curriculum Reform ensures that children can recognize and adapt to local culture and living habits; while the international perspective of IB PYP helps children establish a global awareness and cultivate cross-cultural understanding ability.
In specific teaching practice, the kindergarten features "full-scenario immersion in Chinese and English" and adopts the mode of co-teaching by foreign teachers and Chinese teachers. From daily life care to in-class inquiry activities, and from game interactions to theme discussions, the bilingual environment runs through every link of children's time in the kindergarten. This immersive language environment allows children to improve their listening and speaking skills in both Chinese and English through natural communication and experience, without the need for deliberate "language learning", laying a solid foundation for their future bilingual learning and cross-cultural communication.
The kindergarten is committed to cultivating children into individuals with the "ten IB learner profiles", namely being inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. To achieve this goal, the kindergarten designs a variety of inquiry activities centered on the six IB-PYP transdisciplinary themes. These six transdisciplinary themes break the boundaries of traditional disciplines and endow daily game activities with more inquiry nature. For example, in the theme of "Who We Are", children explore the relationship between themselves and others; in the theme of "Where We Are in Place and Time", children learn about the past and present of the world; in the theme of "How We Express Ourselves", children try to express their ideas in various ways... Through these theme-based inquiries, not only can children's curiosity be stimulated and protected, but also their intrinsic cognitive motivation can be cultivated. This kind of deep-seated and non-utilitarian learning motivation will become an important support for children's lifelong learning.
In the future, Minhang X.L.X Kindergarten will continue to rely on the full-system IB advantages of Yuxin Education Group, deepen the integrated practice of Shanghai Second-round Curriculum Reform and IB PYP, and constantly expand the scope of children's inquiries. It will help children establish broader and deeper connections with the world, enable them to acquire the ability to cope with complex challenges in the future at an "early stage" of growth, and truly become lifelong learners with both local roots and international perspectives.
Pudong Private Xuelexing Kindergarten obtained IB-PYP candidate kindergarten qualification in 2019.
