SCHOOL EDUCATION

Establishing Pu Tai Elementary and Junior High School

To nurture citizens with both knowledge and character for future generations, the Grand Master Wei Chueh has devoted his efforts to establishing the Pu Tai boarding schools (1-12 grades). After six years of painstaking planning, the Pu Tai Elementary School opened in August of 2004. Since the school's inception, students of Pu Tai have demonstrated excellent achievement in all fields of study, and the school has won the admiration and approval from the parents as well as from the public.

 


School Objectives

Long range education with a commitment to operate continuously. Academic excellence in a curriculum with an international perspective.

The Pu Tai School Motto
To our elders be respectful;
To our juniors be kind;
With all humanity be harmonious;
In all endeavors be true.

Four Notable Features

¡P Beautiful Environment

Picturesque, peaceful, and comfortable, the park-like school grounds and unique architecture abound with natural beauty and humane character, presenting a safe and multi-faceted environment for learning.

¡P Exceptional Curriculum

In addition to the required subjects specified by the Board of Education, additional emphases are placed on the Chinese language and classics, four foreign languages: English, Japanese, French, and Spanish, meditation instruction, arts and crafts, and horticulture. The curriculum is well balanced, scientifically designed, and thoughtfully managed.

¡P Great Facilities
The modern and comprehensive facilities include a language learning center, planetarium, gymnasium, swimming pool, computer lab, library, art exhibit hall, sheltered walkways, general and specialized classrooms, and dormitories for all the teachers and students.

¡P Experienced Teachers

Pu Tai's teachers are highly experienced and enthusiastic. They value the heuristic method of teaching that actively involves the students in the learning process. Inspired to teach with compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness in applying the school's education principles, they help Pu Tai set a new standard in education.

Establishment of Pu Tai Senior High School

Education is the foundation of the country. It is also the cornerstone of a propitious society. To achieve the "Three in One" aim of elementary, middle, and high school education, Pu Tai High School celebrated its ground breaking ceremony in May, 2007 and plans to begin enrolling students in 2009.
