Our Mission

At SGA, we provide a safe, developmentally inclusive environment for preschool and school-age children. Our focus is to provide a fun and stimulating early learning and child care experience which promotes each child’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Our Teaching Goals

It has been proven that learning two or more languages can enhance the intellectual development of the human brain, strengthen the establishment of logical thinking, and improve self-confidence. Our goal is to establish a program where children are able to learn a second language (Chinese and English). The ratio of Chinese and English parts will be personalized depending on different family language backgrounds. Our language classes also teach the children to express their ideas through language, mathematics, music, sports, art, social sciences, scientific activities, computer activities, and handcrafting activities. We are dedicated to lead them to express and communicate confidently.

Our Facility

Our facility is compliant with NJ State safety regulations to ensure a fun and secure environment for your children. Our new state-of-the-art school building includes: engaging Pre-school classrooms, piano and music rooms, dance studio, art rooms, and indoor and outdoor playgrounds.

Curriculum Design

Our core curriculum help students develop the skills that are most important in their future education, these classes include: Chinese, English Literacy, Math, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education, and Art & Music. We also offer enrichment classes 4 times a week beginning in the Pre-Kindergarten program. These classes include: musical instrument (piano or guitar), dance or martial arts, P.E. and visual arts or crafts.

Chinese as a Second Language (CSL)

We also offer CSL classes for students without prior exposure to the Chinese language. Our CSL program helps students to develop Chinese language skills, with an additional focus on listening and speaking, in order to accelerate their integration into our immersion program, no matter when they first started learning Chinese.
