A diverse English learning journey that inspires vision and character

The school firmly believes that a solid foundation in English is the key to children's future success.

Through WP, students can gain an in-depth understanding of the history, art, customs and ways of thinking of these countries. This will not only broaden their international horizons and cultivate cross-cultural communication skills, but also enable them to learn to respect and appreciate multiculturalism.

The school is committed to cultivating men's multiple intelligences and potentials. Therefore, having the chess team led by foreign English teachers is a major feature of St. Joe, which brings additional multiple advantages. Chess is known as the "gymnastics of the mind" and its benefits extend far beyond the chessboard. Facing dilemmas in the chess game, students need to think independently. Playing chess also requires a high degree of concentration and patience. This not only exercises their problem-solving skills, but also cultivates their calmness and adaptability when facing challenges. Chess has its own unique terminology (Checkmate, Gambit, Castling, etc.). Through the explanations of foreign teachers, students can accurately master the English expressions of these professional terms, expand their vocabulary, and deepen their understanding in practical applications. Foreign teachers are not only chess tutors, but also role models of English language and Western culture.
