Home Based Learning

Overview

1. Home-Based Learning (HBL) is a bi-weekly platform for students to learn in settings beyond school through a blend of online and offline activities. These activities complement in-school learning and are designed to develop students' ability to be self-directed, passionate and lifelong learners. These self-directed experiences will also encourage the development of positive habits in learning, such as setting of learning goals and monitoring of one’s learning progress.

2. HBL days will be conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year to inculcate the practice of self-directed learning. We are confident that with practice, every Junyuan student can continue their learning even when they are at home.
