2015-2016学年课程设置改革方案(2015-2016 HXGNY Class Schedule Reform)

大纽约中文学校近年来规模迅速扩展。在发展学校规模的同时，我们也力求不断提升学校教学质量，学校管理团队针对学校发展的瓶颈制约因素，经过多方调查，详细研究，提出一整套解决方案, 自2015年秋季开始实施。 在过去一个月里，学校在多个场合向家长们介绍了该方案， 并听取了家长的反馈意见。该方案核心为： 增加一堂文化选修课；为启蒙班、学前班特设文化课，低年级语言课由单一时间段变为两个时间段，增加家长的选择。 详细内容请见这里(http://www.hxgny.org/wp/2015-2016-hxgny-class-schedule-reform-proposal-ke-cheng-she-zhi-gai-ge-fang-an)

2015-2016 HXGNY Class Schedule Reform
We have seen great growth and expansion in student enrollment in our school over the last few years. The ever growing student body presented challenges for the school infrastructure in terms of facility spaces, class size and teacher recruitment.  After extensive research and discussion, the school administration now presents a 2015-2016 HXGNY Class Schedule Reform Proposal to ensure continued growth of our school and at the same time to improve the quality of the class instructions.  In the new schedule, one otpional culture class is added to the existing three-hour curriculum. Language classes in lower grades are changed to two sessions.  Special culture classes are created for K and preK students.  For details, please click here (http://www.hxgny.org/wp/2015-2016-hxgny-class-schedule-reform-proposal-ke-cheng-she-zhi-gai-ge-fang-an)
