NCPA Background:

NCPA is the first American-style high school in China exclusively for Chinese nationals. NCPA’s groundbreaking immersion program is what distinguishes it from any other international-style school in China. NCPA is one of two “catalyst schools” in the ISS-sponsored World Language Initiative (WLI) EAL Pilot Program. With the support of the NCPA EAL Team and the WLI Consultant, each classroom teacher uses research-based, “high-challenge, high-support” EAL programs and curriculum to enable English learners' acquisition of full-academic English proficiency. Our model for immersion follows the Six Principles for ELL Instruction (Stanford University, January 2013).

To better prepare our students for the rigors of university every faculty member, regardless of content area, weaves into their instruction the four intellectual standards or habits of mind called Learner Goals based on Conley’s Standards for Success: 1) read to infer, interpret, and draw conclusions; 2) support arguments with evidence; 3) resolve conflicting views encountered in source documents; and, 4) solve complex problems with no obvious answer. Students should be applying at least one of the Learning Goals in every task they perform.

The NCPA Curriculum is derived from research-based, best practices. The model of instruction at NCPA has at its foundation Vygotsky's (1978) research on the importance of social interaction in learning and understanding. Marzano's Instruction that Works (2001) and The Art and Science of Teaching (2008), Hattie's Visible Learning (2009), and Schmoker's Focus (2012) have all influenced NCPA’s instructional practice. Reading and writing instruction follows the Columbia Teachers College Reading and Writing Workshop and its adaptation for high school by Penny Kittle's Write Beside Them (2008) and Kelly Gallagher's Write Like This (2011).

NCPA is committed to standards-based instruction, assessment, and reporting following the work of Thomas Guskey (2001/2003), Doug Reeves (2003), Ken O'Connor (1999), Robert Marzano (1996/2000), and Susan Brookhart (1991/1993).

NCPA offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses to upper level students. The purpose of NCPA’s AP courses is to simulate the academic rigor and language of the American university classroom. At NCPA the AP exam results will complement a student’s achievement of the four Learning Goals.
