Integral to our mission to empower global communities, MasterHand Learning Asia Pacific LLP is keen to develop further contacts with educational institutions overseas. With the support from our partners and following extensive research, teacher training and exploration by our team of dedicated teachers and consultants, we have emerged as an international organisation at the forefront of innovation in bilingual language education.
For the past 3 years, MasterHand has been offering cross-cultural exchange programmes and bilingual enrichment to overseas clients. From 2010, we will expand our network in the international education arena, by opening a new MasterHand branch: MasterHand Learning (China) LLP in Jiangsu Province, China. Our focus here will be to provide consultancy in the establishment and development of bilingual syllabuses for international kindergartens and schools in the PRC.
With expansion plans in the pipeline on both local and regional scales in China and Indonesia, we will create abundant enrichment opportunities for the international community with new bilingual programmes, new immersion experiences, new teaching spaces and new collaborative projects. These projects will also help to consolidate our expansion from a local language hub to an international language group.
If you are interested to find out more about our integrated language programmes or need expert advise in the development of language enrichment in your school, please fill out an online enquiry form on the contact us page and our consultants will be in touch shortly.
