School Life

1. Conversation with the Principal · Speater College Education Forum

Education has never been a one-way transmission; it is a two-way dialogue. At Speater College, we believe that the best education begins with communication — to understand the child, the parents, and the definition of "growth".

Every month, the principal of Speater College invites a small group of families who think deeply about education and hold high hopes for their children to sit together, and talk about what truly matters:

  • In our time, what are the most valuable qualities children need?
  • How can we help children find balance between academic pressure and personal development?
  • How can home and school build a truly effective partnership?
  • Why is the Speed Academy classroom designed the way it is?

This is not an admissions pitch. It is a sincere exchange of thoughts. You may come with confusion or with hope. We believe that education truly begins only when educators set aside the posture of "authority."

When: The second Saturday of every month, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Where: Speater College meeting room
Capacity: Limited to 8 families per session to ensure everyone has chance to speak
How to Register: Please book through our website or call us in advance for confirmation

We look forward to meeting you and hearing your opinion.

2.Parent Workshop

Speater College is not only a school for children; it is also a community for parents.

We know that the impact of education should not end in the classroom. The consistency and depth of collaboration between home and school often determine how far a child can go.

Therefore, we regularly host parent workshops, inviting practitioners and researchers in education to explore with parents the real challenges of daily parenting:

Upcoming Themes (Rotating)

  • Introduction to Positive Discipline: How can we build a bounded parent-child relationship without punishment or indulgence?
  • Cultivating a Reading Habit: From "make me read" to "I want to read"—what can parents do?
  • The Emotion Monster: Helping children recognize and manage their feelings
  • Screen Management in the Digital Age: How to coexist with electronic devices
  • Self-Directed Learning: Strategies to ignite a child’s internal motivation

Workshops are conducted in small-group interactive format, with no more than 15 participants per session. Parents are encouraged to share their experiences and dilemmas, gaining inspiration through exchange and forming consensus through reflection.

Format: 1–2 sessions per month, approximately 90 minutes each
Where: Meeting room
Open to: Current Speater College families and prospective families
Cost: Free trial experience for prospective families

We believe that when parents are willing to grow, children will follow.

3.New Student Orientation

Entering a new school is an "adventure" for a child—a new environment, new teachers, new classmates. Everything is unknown.

At Speater College, we do not want a child to start school feeling nevous or unsure. Therefore, before the official school term starts, we have designed the "Speater College Discovery Camp" for every new student.

It is a "rehearsal"!

During the half-day orientation, children will:

  • Explore the Campus: Led by teachers, they will discover classrooms, the library, the playground… and find their own "secret corner"
  • Meet Their Peers: Through carefully designed ice-breaker games, they will get to know future classmates in laughter and start building their friendships
  • Meet Their Teachers: A relaxed, informal meeting with their homeroom and academic teachers to dissolve unfamiliarity
  • Learn the Routines: In ways children can understand, they will learn what a school day looks like—when classes start, when breaks happen, and who to turn to when they need help

Each new student will also receive a "Speater College Passport." After completing the campus exploration tasks, they can exchange it for a welcome gift from the school.

When: One week before the official term begins (specific date will be communicated to admitted families in advance)
Duration: Half day (approximately 3 hours)
Open to: All new students of Speater College
Parent Session: A "New Parent Briefing" will be held concurrently to help parents prepare for the start of school

We hope that when a child formally walks into Speater College, what they feel is not "I’m scared," but "I feel like I’ve already been here."
