K-12 Education

Ambow is founded on a ‘student-centric’ educational philosophy. This is Ambow’s defining characteristic. It means that its educational services are fully customized to the needs and goals of the individual student.

Ambow actively partners with primary and secondary schools across China to deliver K-12 education programs and services to students. Its student-centric approach ensures that students develop a very strong foundation in K-12 core skills, thus preparing them for entrance to higher education institutions and ultimately to the careers to which they aspire.

Joint School Development Program
Ambow’s K-12 education programs are delivered to students in partnership with their schools. This ensures that the power of Ambow benefits students and schools alike, enhancing both the individual and collective capacity for success.

Ambow is committed to the development of its partner schools by making available its extensive range of advanced teaching, learning and technological resources.

Ambow and its partner schools have the same goal: to maximize student success.  An Ambow partnership can therefore be likened to the major change that occurs when a high-powered, state-of-the-art processor ‘chip’ is placed inside a computer.  Once Ambow’s advanced technology and resources – analogous to the processor ‘chip’ – are integrated into the partner school’s framework, they provide immense new power and capability to the teaching and learning environment, taking the school to a new level of high-quality performance, vitality and success.

Ambow brings to the partnership its powerful ‘learning engine’ technology, as well as extensive high-quality teaching resources, teacher training programs and support, access to the latest research on education and related topics, and guidance on how to maximize the partnership to enhance the school’s reputation for quality.

E-learning Service/BoPo Program
Ambow’s e-learning service is a combination of on-line and off-line learning support for students. The on-line program offers e-learning ‘virtual’ instruction via the Internet, while the off-line service involves individual, face-to-face tutorials. This combination of services ensures a varied and stimulating learning experience that builds knowledge and self-confidence.

Ambow’s BoPo program for K-12 students is a series of learning modules that responds to individual ‘ways’ of learning. Using Ambow’s ‘interactive learning engine’ technology, BoPo targets students’ individual strengths and weaknesses, modifying the learning experience in response to their needs and progress. 

The system also compares the students’ current performance with past achievements, both at the individual and at the peer group level, giving students a clear understanding of their current learning status.  BoPo takes into account the intense focus that is placed on examination results in China, preparing students both academically and psychologically to handle these testing phases.

University Entrance Examination Preparation and After-school Tutoring
Ambow is one of China’s largest providers of educational and support services to assist students in preparing for China’s national university entrance exams.

Ambow’s unique program helps both first-time and repeat candidates to master their subjects by focusing on individual needs and goals.  Ambow’s ‘learning engine’ plays a decisive role in the program, drawing on the skills of specialist teachers, subject experts and psychologists to build student confidence and maintain a balanced and progressive development throughout the preparation period.

The program assists students in achieving the level of knowledge required for success and motivates them throughout their preparation. It enhances their competitive edge by providing advice on effective learning styles, good exam habits, and stress and time management skills.  

Ambow also offers after-school tutoring and Olympic Maths preparation. These activities focus on inspiring and motivating students to take the initiative with their studies, and promote a balanced development that is vital to success.

These services are available in all major cities through Ambow-operated or Ambow-alliance schools. Standardized teaching resources and processes, quality teacher training and the use of Ambow’s e-learning platform guarantee a consistent service delivery across China.

Pre-University Skills Assessment Test
Ambow has also collaborated with a number of leading universities to develop a test that assesses students’ strengths and weaknesses.  With this knowledge, students are better able to determine their future career options and areas of study, and to focus on reaching these goals from the start.
