do more than teach
CHANGE a life
HESS Education Philosophy
To meet the needs our learners, the HESS teaching philosophy consists of four key principles:
Educare
Educare is an approach to schooling that recognizes the inseparable relationship between educating and caring for a child. If a child feels safe, cared-for, and loved and is provided with an attractive, stimulating environment, then learning will come effortlessly. Multiple Intelligences The human mind learns and performs different tasks in several different ways. We call these multiple intelligences. The eight different intelligences are logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, naturalist, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and verbal/linguistic. These ways of thinking are all equally important learning channels. |
Whole-Child Education
HESS develops the whole child. Education scholarship shows that children will achieve the best results cognitively, emotionally, physically, and socially when they develop a balance of these intelligences. HESS' curriculum has therefore been written with the methodology of integrating several ways of learning simultaneously. Concept-Mapping Theory This theory was developed by Dr. Joseph Novak. It holds that all curricula must be integrated, and in order for learning to be effective, it must be built on prior knowledge. Our lessons are theme-based, integrated, and progress cumulatively. Applying the concept- mapping theory to our methods and materials helps children to understand their world and learn more easily. All HESS lessons focus on one central element: the child. |
HESS International Preschool
Philosophy
HESS has the best teachers, offers the best environment, and provides the best materials, curriculum, and teaching methods for preschool learning in Taiwan.
Our aim is to introduce English in much the same manner as a child's first language is discovered. Through a wide range of stimulating activities and situations, learners acquire English naturally. It is our philosophy to nurture happy, well-rounded, curious, and confident children. We give children the confidence they need to cultivate positive social skills and self-esteem. The children will become confident English speakers.

Environment
Since a child's window of language acquisition is wide open during the preschool years, HESS preschool classes serve as a foundation for later learning. We strive to create fun, stimulating environments that allow students to learn at their own pace.
It is very important that preschool children can learn and play in a safe, stimulating environment. HESS international preschools have many child-centered learning aids, including building blocks, toys, abacuses, and musical instruments. Our classrooms all have a reading corner; some of our schools even have Japanese, French, Art, Computer and Music classrooms. All of our branches have space for physical education and exercise, usually a large room or outdoor area. Smaller classes allow our teachers to pay ample individual attention to each student's unique learning needs. In our preschools, children feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In this nurturing atmosphere, they will develop their physical, emotional, mental, and social skills to their fullest potential.

Curricula
Because we write, record, create, and publish all of our own materials, HESS ensures that our curricula are integrated and theme-based. While there are no limits to the materials a HESS teacher will use in class for all kinds of learning, our published materials are listed below. They are divided into Rainbow Kids, Rainbow Toddlers and LOVE IT! class materials, although some of them are used in more than one program.

HESS Language School

Philosophy
At HESS, we realize that all students have different learning styles. Some students learn by using their eyes; others need to hear something to understand it. In order to accommodate all the different learning styles, we present language as visual and aural, as well as by providing kinesthetic cues. The three primary senses we use in learning are our eyes (visual), ears (aural), and bodies (kinesthetic, or actions).

Environment
It is important to stimulate all of these senses so that students are looking, listening, and moving. The objective of our teaching method is to meet the learning needs of all students by teaching to the sense with which they learn best. The secondary objectives include enhancing student's memory access and retention by giving them multiple ways to remember information. To motivate maximum participation from our students, we ensure our lessons’ activities are hands-on and engaging.

HESS International Studies Institute
The HESS International Studies Institute is the adult education arm of the company. It is also responsible for arranging our international summer camps for students all around Taiwan. This is an exciting opportunity for our HESS teachers to on week long trips with a group of students around Taiwan and even to Singapore. Check-out the video below to see what it's like!
