About Us

Igniting the spark in every child

Early Education sets the Roots for Future Success

At Climbing Hi Academic Institute we aim to excite children about learning and to engage their innate curiosity about the world. Our age-appropriate curriculum taps into a child’s need to understand how things work, while providing a foundation for meaningful math, language, and literacy development.

We understand the importance of social development and pre-academic learning required for an optimized early childhood education. Our programs are designed to meet the developmental needs of children from preschool through their primary years and prepare them for the path ahead.

Our educational philosphy

CHAI is Guided by the Principles of

1. Holistic Learning
Each child is unique and learns differently. The child is a whole human being; therefore, a complete education develops the child in all seven domains: spiritual, mental, social, natural, emotional, creative, and physical.
2. Harmonious Learning Environment
Children learn best in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe. Love and respect underlay each teacher’s approach to skillful classroom management. The more students are engaged and on-task, the more they learn: We provide a secure learning environment by giving students the daily structure they need to feel grounded, with the flexibility to drive inspiration.
3. Creativity and Critical Thinking
Immersion in the arts expands the soul. Developing imagination also builds critical thinking skills. While there is a place for memorization and rote skill building, critical thinking is the foundation for building the future.
4. The Natural World and Sustainability
Through understanding nature, we understand ourselves. Therefore, the learning environment extends into the natural world and into the greater community, and children spend as much time outside as possible. Children who have a relationship with nature will take care of it.
5. Authentic Learning
The curriculum, based on thematic interdisciplinary learning, creates relevant connections for students. We inspire and empower through discovery, using experiential learning, inquiry learning, and real-world opportunities. In order to build confidence, students take risks and meet increasingly difficult challenges. Learning from failure teaches problem-solving and perseverance.
6. Research and Innovation
Our curriculum adapts and evolves according to the current, applicable research and our own rich experience and innovation. We are free to borrow best-practices from great learning models such as Waldorf, Montessori, and others, to create a hybrid model that adapts to contemporary needs, research, and practicality.
7. A Balanced Approach to Learning and Assessment
Fostering a love of learning is the key to creating motivated learners. Our curriculum is designed to introduce skills at key developmental windows and inspiring children to challenge themselves.
8. Contemplation, Compassion, and Service
Contemplative methods support all aspects of development. We explore the world’s religious traditions for spiritual insight, as we develop a higher consciousness. We build character and compassion through service to the larger community. The development of values is the most important lesson.
9. Meaningful Relationships
The relationship between the teacher and the student is the heart of education. Collaboration between students fosters ideas and social skills. Students become adept communicators. A parent is a child’s first teacher, and we will honor you and communicate with you as such while supporting your growth as a parent.
10. Health and Wholeness
Healthy habits, in and out of the classroom, help children learn and grow into healthy adults. Physical education and kinesthetic learning are integrated into the curriculum. A safe learning environment builds confidence. Balance in all aspects of life brings contentment.
11. Community and Individuality
A strong community is diverse, supportive, and cooperative. Within our strong community, each child is treated as an individual. Their unique interests, talents, and learning styles are nurtured. Social and emotional learning builds competent world citizens.
12. Dedicated Teachers
The most important component to our program is gifted teachers. Educators must be excellent role models and passionate about life. Education is a sacred calling: Our goal is to make a positive difference in the life of your child, our community, and beyond.
