Are they full of energy but need a positive outlet? Or perhaps they’re a little shy and looking for a safe space to come out of their shell?</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202460" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Weixin-Image_2026-02-08_113936_064-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707"   /></p>
<p>This winter, step away from the screens and into the spotlight. We’re excited to introduce a unique winter program designed not just to teach performance, but to build unshakable confidence, creativity, and communication skills that will benefit children for a lifetime.</p>
<p>This isn’t your average drama club. It’s a journey of self-discovery, all while having a ton of fun!<img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202458" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Weixin-Image_20260203121900_7_380.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="1442"   /></p>
<p><strong>What’s the Camp All About?</strong></p>
<p>This program is specially designed for first-time performers and children with limited stage experience. Forget the pressure of being perfect—the goal here is to feel comfortable, confident, and expressive.</p>
<p>Over the course of the camp, your child will learn to:<br />
Command the room: Build genuine stage presence and beat those first-time jitters.<br />
Become a character: Dive into the fun of understanding a character’s thoughts, feelings, and personality.<br />
Express themselves: Learn how to communicate ideas and emotions clearly and creatively.<br />
Develop creative habits: Build a foundation for future learning in the arts and beyond.</p>
<p>The focus is on the process, not the product. It’s about giving kids the tools to express themselves authentically, whether they’re on a stage or in a classroom.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202459" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Weixin-Image_2026-02-08_113857_238-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1853" height="2560"   /></p>
<p><strong>What kind of kids is this camp for?</strong></p>
<p>This camp is a perfect fit for a wide range of kids, especially those who are curious and imaginative and love to make-believe and tell stories, as well as first-time performers who will find it the ideal place to start even with no experience whatsoever; it&#8217;s also a wonderful opportunity for shy or introverted children to gently step out of their comfort zone in a supportive, pressure-free environment, while equally serving as a healthy, creative outlet for energetic and talkative kids to channel all that wonderful energy, ultimately making it a fantastic choice for any young confidence-builder looking to improve their communication skills and make new friends in a fun setting—no previous acting experience is required, and every child is welcomed and encouraged to grow at their own pace.</p>
<p><strong> The Quick Details</strong></p>
<p>Price: RMB 12,998 &#8211; 15,998<br />
Dates: March 7 – June 5<br />
Time: Saturday mornings, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM<br />
Location: Nanyang Gongxiangji (Near Dongsi)<br />
Sign-up Deadline: March 1</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2149111116-300x200.jpg" /></div><p>Forget the dusty gyms and repetitive sideline chants. In Beijing, kids are trading traditional after-school activities for the high-flying, gravity-defying world of competitive cheerleading. This isn&#8217;t your older cousin&#8217;s pep squad; it&#8217;s a dynamic fusion of elite gymnastics, powerful dance, and theatrical performance, all set to pulsating music and led by the trusty team of instructors at Flips and Kicks.</p>
<p>In the heart of a city known for its ancient traditions, these young athletes are being trained in a sport that is way cooler, far more intense and radically different than anything you&#8217;d imagine.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202114" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2149111116.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000"   /><strong>Can you tell us a bit about Flips and Kicks?</strong></p>
<p>Gladly. We have been active on the Beijing market since 2012, working with the majority of the big international schools, such as The British School of Beijing, Sanlitun and Shunyi (BSB SLT and Shunyi), International School of Beijing (ISB), the Canadian School of Beijing (CISB) and Western Academy of Beijing (WAB) to name a few. We’ve also worked with many of the major hotels in Beijing, like the Kerry Centre and Pudong Shangri-La.</p>
<p>We focus on FUN in sports. We believe that if you enjoy sports, you naturally create a positive attitude toward physical activity and the social aspects that come with it – something very important in today’s society.</p>
<p>We focus on gymnastics, martial arts (karate and BJJ) and cheerleading for our own programs. In addition to our own programs, we collaborate with international schools for their ASA programs, where we offer a wide range of activities such as multi-sports (most likely our biggest program), dance, cheerleading, karate, and Brazilian jujitsu.</p>
<p>Currently, we mainly work with ISB and WAB, and we have had a fantastic and positive working relationship with them for over 13 years (time goes fast!). On top of this, we have year-round camps for kids with different themes like sports, theater, stunt work, Dog &amp; Agility camp, Astrid Lindgren’s world with Pippi Longstocking, etc.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202113" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/ScreenShot_2025-12-01_122013_206.jpg" alt="" width="894" height="1252"   /><strong>What classes do you offer, and what age are the kids who attend?</strong></p>
<p>We offer a wide range of services and classes:</p>
<p><strong>ASA Programs:</strong><br />
– Karate<br />
– Brazilian Jujitsu<br />
– Multi-Sports<br />
– Dance<br />
– Cheerleading<br />
– Action Movie ASA</p>
<p><strong>Our Own Programs:</strong><br />
– <strong>Gymnastics at WAB</strong> – Mondays 6pm-7.30pm, age 6-15 (divided into age groups)<br />
– <strong>Gymnastics at WAB</strong> – Sundays 9am-12.30pm, age 3-15 (divided into age groups)<br />
– <strong>Karate at ISB</strong> – Saturdays 10am-2pm, age 3-adult<br />

– <strong>Cheerleading at WAB</strong> – Mondays:<br />
• 6pm-7pm (ages 6-11)<br />
• 7pm-8pm (ages 12-15)</p>
<p>In addition, we have year-round camps: Multi-Sports Camps, Dog &amp; Agility Camp, Action Movie Camp, Beach Volleyball Camp, and Astrid Lindgren Camps (drama, acting, storytelling, music).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202111" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/00b2495cf4f59bf3b41873a56488d8ab.jpg" alt="" width="1545" height="2000"   /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202112" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/28a490c706e00a772bc65236670ef0ec.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1350"   /><strong>We’re so excited to hear that you’ve started a cheerleading class! Tell us a bit about it.</strong></p>
<p>Thank you. We are excited as well. We have started cheerleading before, but due to the slow market after Covid and some schedule conflicts, we put it on hold for a while. On request from parents and the community, we have now started up again.</p>
<p>From experience, it takes about six months to get a good program off the ground. But we restarted the program because the parents specifically requested it, so we’ll see how it goes. Some other international schools have a strong cheerleading foundation, and we look forward to catching up with them.</p>
<p>WAB also has a very strong international and American community, so we are happy to offer our services to them. Starting in January, we will also offer cheerleading in the WAB ASA program.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202115" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/pexels-cottonbro-7339115.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="853"   /><strong>How is the cheerleading class different from gymnastics?</strong></p>
<p>To be honest, they go hand in hand. Much of the skill set is the same – good coordination, flexibility and strength. What you learn in gymnastics you can use in cheerleading and vice versa.</p>
<p>We focus on synchronized cheerleading with and without pompoms, combined with basic acrobatic skills. Pumping up the music and pumping up the crowd is always fun. The competitive aspects between schools are also fun and something we can develop together with the international schools in the near future. That would be very cool.</p>
<p>Cheerleading and gymnastics always do warm-up games together, and it’s always a BLAST.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202116" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/pexels-cottonbro-7337600-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1707" height="2560"   /><strong>Are there any misconceptions about cheerleading classes?</strong></p>
<p>I think there are misconceptions about almost all sports, to be honest.</p>
<p>The standard scenario is you try a few classes and quickly conclude it’s “no fun.” But like with many skill sets, it doesn’t become fun until you feel comfortable with your own abilities.</p>
<p>A stereotype for both gymnastics and cheerleading is that they are mainly girl-dominated sports. Boys love gymnastics, to be honest – they just need a good coach and a positive training environment. The same goes for cheerleading.</p>
<p>See it as something fun, something that keeps you healthy and fit, and, most importantly, something where you can have FUN.</p>
<p><strong>What’s the most fun part of cheer practice for the kids?</strong></p>
<p>The benefits are many. New and old friendships are important. Sports should be a social activity, not a task. Team and school spirit matter.</p>
<p>In cheerleading, you have three important parts:</p>
<ol>
<li>Self-development and training</li>
<li>Team spirit</li>
<li>School spirit</li>
</ol>
<p>You train to bring energy to both the team and the audience. But like everything worth doing, it’s hard work, too.</p>
<p><strong>If a kid has zero gymnastics/cheerleading experience, do you recommend they start?</strong></p>
<p>ABSOLUTELY. We are open to everyone who wants to train and have fun in a positive environment with top-qualified coaches. You can have zero experience and still develop very positively – both physically and personally.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-202117" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/pexels-cottonbro-7337608.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1920"   /><strong>When are the classes, and how long is each session?</strong></p>
<p>For cheerleading, each class is one hour.</p>
<p>– Ages 6-11: 6pm-7pm<br />
– Ages 12-15: 7pm-8pm</p>
<p>The classes are held in the ES Gym, next to the gymnastics hall.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Untitled-image-2025-08-28T113808.649-300x128.jpeg" /></div><p class="p1">Whether you are trying to have your child develop their confidence or just trying to find them a hobby that can also help them understand our world on a deeper level, the upcoming theatrical production, <strong>Constellations: Reimagined by Kids</strong>, will be for you. The original Constellations production revolves around the theme of mortality, illness, and infidelity, while this adapted version is an interactive play directed by comedy and drama tutor <strong>Donnie Fan,</strong> along with professional drama teachers, and revolves around the theme of friendship, family, and adapting to a new environment, making it suitable for teen actors and actresses.</p>
<p class="p1">Donnie Fan is a professional stand-up comedian, director, screenwriter, and playwright who is experienced in both adult and children’s theatrical productions. He directed the Pride and Prejudice high school production, was part of the iQiyi International Comedy Special, and directed the ART (children’s production) this year, and also directed multiple children’s theatrical productions in previous years.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-201128 size-full" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/9ac94bfa2e5e66689ffe1d89bb044a14.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"   /></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Q: Tell us about Constellations and how it relates to children’s growth and development.</strong></p>
<p class="p1">A: Constellations is a story that takes place across multiple timelines, exploring how small choices can completely change outcomes. While the original play is written for adults, we’ve adapted it to reflect the pre-teen and teenage experience. For children, this becomes a powerful metaphor: their everyday decisions shape who they are becoming. It’s a playful yet meaningful way to show young people how choices and consequences are part of their growth and development.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-201130 size-full" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/33a7106b35b9b769709bd83e958de3dd.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"   /><strong>Q: How do you think dramatic productions like Constellations show the audience the charm and psychological side of the development of children and teens?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">A: Theater allows us to see children at their most vulnerable and most resilient. In Constellations, we’ll watch young actors stumble, make mistakes, and then learn to recover — just as kids do in real life. Their peers in the audience may think, “that’s exactly how I feel right now,” while parents will recognize echoes of their own adolescence. This dual perspective creates empathy and understanding, shining light on the psychological journey of growing up.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-201132 size-large" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/89bdd3761101bc16c125bcb6d403e539-1024x576.png" alt="" width="702" height="395"   /></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Q: What kind of kids should get involved in this project? What if they don&#8217;t have any previous experience?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">A: Any child who enjoys theater, storytelling, or simply has a strong imagination should get involved. Kids don’t need prior stage experience. In fact, some of the best performances come from those who bring fresh, uninhibited perspectives. In our last production of Yasmina Reza’s ART, one actress had almost no theater background, yet gave a fantastic performance. This project offers kids a chance to take on meaningful roles that they may not otherwise get in a school play. The only requirement is an open mind and a willingness to explore.</p>

<p class="p1">A: Each week, students will dive into different characters and scenarios, exploring motivations and emotions while building confidence in performance. They’ll collaborate with peers, experiment with improvisation, and gradually shape their scenes for the final production. By the time we reach show week, with costumes, makeup, and stage lights, the kids won’t just feel prepared, they’ll feel like they’ve grown through every step of the process. It’s designed to be fun, fresh, and full of discovery.</p>

<p class="p1">A: We have a maximum of ten spots, and about half are already filled. Each young actor will have an equal share of stage time. Because Constellations explores the dynamic between two characters, every student will perform a unique scene within one of the timelines. These scenes stand alone but also connect to the larger themes of the play. Families can sign up by contacting me directly at<strong> Donniefancomedy</strong>.</p>

<p>Curious what the experience is like for kids? Check out what these past students have to say about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doing “Art” with Donnie and the cast was a very immersive and engaging experience. Everyone did their part and worked really hard, and the final performance of the show was a reflection of the outstanding hard work the team put together. Overall, it was a memorable time.&#8221; says 14-year-old Wei Yafei. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-201181" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/972c7bf14fa5340bc48de82223d5703.jpg" alt="" width="812" height="1041"   /></p>
<p>&#8220;My experience as an actor for the play “Art&#8221; by Yasmin Reza, reimagined by kids, was pretty good. I have a distinct memory of forgetting some of my lines (other people too), and still having a lot fun.&#8221;, says Arthur Legarand. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-201182" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/344f740cb934d0438a566b1d12f0775.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1079"   /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Untitled-image-20-300x144.jpeg" /></div><p>In my family, celebrating milestones is very important. I just completed fourth grade at the <strong>Western Academy of Beijing (WAB)</strong>.</p>
<p>Our family loves to explore the world! When my dad asked, “Where would you like to go when school’s out?” I wasn’t sure at the moment, but a few days later, I had the perfect answer: camping.</p>
<p>I enjoy living in the city, but just like how many children like candy, if they have too much candy, then they get sick of it. It was the same with city life. So I decided it would be nice to explore the countryside. But there was only one problem . . . MOM.</p>
<p>My mom can&#8217;t go a single night without the following objects: bathroom, hair dryer, skin care, and other stuff that she insists are essential, while I find myself questioning, “But are they really?” There is nothing wrong with this; it is the way of the world. But believe me when I say that it is the toughest thing in the world to convince the lady in my family to go camping. So instead of dragging my mom kicking and screaming, we came up with a compromise. Dad booked a glamping (glamorous camping) site for us, fully furnished with our own bathroom and toilet. Perfect to convince my mother to come along.</p>
<p><strong>Beijing Toye Glamping</strong> is only a 1.5-hour car ride from Beijing. There are many glamping choices to choose from, ranging from basic tents, deluxe recreational vehicles, space capsule starships, to large tents.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200586" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/7c81dd43bcd173f6fff29bd7ca18099.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   />Our campsite was a large tent on a wooden plank. It looked over the treetops and mountain ranges, giving the perfect view of the horizon. Beautiful sunsets could be clearly seen over the rustic balcony. We had a nice private bathroom and conveniently provided chairs and a table. The campsite also had a playground, a lake and many other things that would make visitors have an enjoyable time.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200587" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/b8b20b9415c2dc9d5100d8fd7bda90a.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   />The campsite also had a cute little garden cafe that sold nice coffee and drinks. The garden made me feel like it was straight out of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>. With cute tea tables, lovely benches, and water features, it was perfect for enjoying a nice summer day. Overall, the campsite was a lovely place to enjoy a break from the chaos of Beijing.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200588" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/e2a2978f57c3207d8f1e8d30358a45b.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   />My Dad had reserved this glampsite because it was near many historical places, making it easy to go sightseeing. But let’s rewind: Before we even got to the camp, we visited the Ming Tombs.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200589" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/554960f0c485791001a0f37bf4a5a54.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   /><strong>The Ming Tombs</strong>, the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming dynasty, are a collection of mausoleums built by the Ming emperors. It is a UNESCO heritage site and the ticket price is RMB 98 per adult and RMB 22 per child. This gets you access to everything there. At the Ming Tombs, there was a long walkway with marble statues of different animals along each side of the path. This is the Sacred Path. If you are not a history person, as I am, skip this one.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200590" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/bb1b516ac5c2073739efa681066a1b5.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1706"   /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200592" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/5234af90463a4ca1b09164259018dd7.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1706"   />We also visited the <strong>Longqing Gorge</strong>, roughly 25 minutes away. This gorge includes a boat ride, toboggan sledding, and gondolas. If you are visiting in winter, there will Ice Lantern Festival similar to one in Harbin. To get to the top of the dam, there is an escalator in the shape of a dragon. The top of the dam is where you can begin your boat ride adventure. The entrance fee was RMB 140 per adult and RMB 100 per kid, which included the boat ride, but not the gondola. That was another RMB 68 per person for both kids and adults.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200591" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cdaf800cc3084ff90944cc825abc68f.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   />At the end of the gondola ride, you will be near the highest peak of the gorge. There is a nice hike up the mountain. Along the hike, you will encounter a temple, a convenience store and a piece of Chinese history. There is a magic basin on the side of the temple. This basin is special because it is said that the water was provided by the gods, and that is why, even in the worst droughts, the water never drains or evaporates. In all, nature lovers are recommended to come here.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200594" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/9ea32c6719e2b25fc327ae4f0b84720.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1706"   /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200593" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/0b481245469462c6373807a56706358.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1706"   />But my favorite sightseeing place was the <strong>Guyaju cave dwellings</strong>. These caves had been hand-carved out of the mountains! The Guyaju cave dwellers are a bit of a mystery because nobody knows who lived in the caves. Though the Guyaju caves were grand and magnificent, <em>beware</em> the hike. The hike took approximately 30 minutes! My piece of advice: Bring an umbrella and lots of water. Luckily, there are many little tables along the mountain for a rest stop. Also, the cave dwellings are the perfect place for little story makers. I tried making a short story based on the mystery of the cave dwellers. These caves are a perfect way to explore the history of China.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200595" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/d11c462642dee435b95be455b44c114.jpg" alt="" width="1279" height="1706"   /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200596" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/fb43f348d143dce3f2fddd7d9280cd9.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   />So, there you have it! Our memorable trip through isolated China. And in case you&#8217;re wondering, my city-loving mom actually enjoyed the glamping!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Untitled-image4-300x144.jpeg" /></div>JEN Art Academy offers a clear, age-based progression to support students from the earliest stages to competitive college applications.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Untitled-image4-300x144.jpeg" /></div><p>It’s a sunny Sunday in the CBD, in the cool, high-ceilinged gallery space of <strong>Espace Louis Vuitton Beijing</strong> – an outpost of the Louis Vuitton Foundation art museum in Paris. The “LV” could stand for little-visited, compared to its better-known retail sibling at Guomao (China World Mall). Find this outdoor storefront and next door you’ll step into the gallery, which hosts changing, thoughtfully curated exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. Currently, “Painting from Nature” is on display until October, showcasing works by abstract expressionists Joan Mitchell and Megan Rooney.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200498" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/99018cbc65844d2181f862aad26663c.jpg" alt="" width="1706" height="1279"   /></p>
<p>But today, a group of children are enjoying Espace LV not only as museumgoers but as budding artists. They are under the tutelage of <strong>Jennifer Chung,</strong> known to her young clientele as “Ms. Jen,” the founder and director of <strong>JEN Art Academy</strong>. She begins with a tour of the artworks, drawing out children’s interpretations: “The yellow looks happy,” says one child about a vibrant triptych by Mitchell, while another sees “a magical forest” in Rooney’s echo of Monet’s <em>Waterlilies</em>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200492" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/38ff919dc3e8027a4ef4fd27c41d7c9-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="2560"   />Next, the children settle at their workstations to create: silk paintings layered with gold foil and mounted on canvas. Drawing from the exhibition’s expressive vision of nature, their silk-and-gold creations echo the exhibit’s themes while reflecting something entirely their own. It’s this kind of intentional, layered learning that Jen imbues into every program she leads.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200493" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dbe99dc974d3764d1fbfc2373fc5d3b-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="2560"   /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200494" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/aa2a51afbeb5acd435ec79c7e698b7f-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="2560"   />Jen’s own journey took her from high school in Hong Kong to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) – often dubbed the “Harvard of art schools” – for a degree in textiles. “RISD was life-changing,” she reflects. “I found a community of passionate, like-minded creatives who pushed me to grow and consistently develop original ideas. Anticipating today’s AI-driven world, RISD gave me the tools to lead with creativity.”</p>
<p>After graduating, Jen entered the fast-paced world of luxury fashion, working with brands like Dior, Versace, and Van Cleef &amp; Arpels in Hong Kong. “Understanding the business side of global luxury was eye-opening,” she says. “I was fortunate to gain that firsthand.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200499" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/d5b141dbfd42dac01becf1bf8bd941c.jpg" alt="" width="1702" height="1276"   /></p>
<p>After moving to Beijing in 2017, Jen deepened her experience in educational leadership – first as principal of a local arts high school, and later as art education director at Dulwich College Group, where she designed a specialized arts track. “The pathway allowed students to spend three out of five school days fully immersed in art and design,” she explains. “I developed a comprehensive curriculum that combined concept and theory classes with foundational skills training. Most importantly, they completed their entire university portfolio during class time – giving them the preparation to get into their dream schools and thrive once they got there.”</p>
<p>In 2023, JEN Art Academy was born from a gap Jen encountered over and over in her work with students and families: Many young people dream of entering creative fields – architecture, fashion, animation, game design – but lack the structured support to get there.</p>
<p>“There’s a real gap,” Jen says. “So many talented students don’t know how to build the kind of portfolio top-tier universities are looking for. That’s where we come in.”</p>
<p>Located in Beijing’s Chaoyang District near the Western Academy of Beijing (WAB), JEN Art Academy offers a clear, age-based progression to support students from the earliest stages to competitive college applications:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Grades 1-4:</strong> early exposure programs that spark curiosity and build foundational skills through weekend classes and summer camps</li>
<li><strong>Grades 5-8:</strong> pre-portfolio foundations with a focus on drawing, design thinking, and visual storytelling</li>
<li><strong>Grades 9-12:</strong> intensive portfolio preparation for students applying to leading global art and design universities</li>
</ul>
<p>The Academy’s curriculum is built on the RISD approach, leveraging creativity as a tool for original problem-solving. “It’s never just about technique,” Jen emphasizes. “We teach students to think like designers, starting with observation and exploration then moving into self-expression, innovation and confidence.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200497" src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/微信截图_20250623094648.jpg" alt="" width="1033" height="1393"   />This summer, JEN Art Academy invites young creators ages 6-13 to explore three immersive camp themes that spark imagination and build hands-on design skills. In <strong>Super Mario Game Design</strong>, kids reimagine their favorite game universe by designing characters, power-ups and fantastical worlds. <strong>Primitive Pioneers</strong> takes campers back in time to invent tools, build shelters and experiment with tribal-inspired fashion. And in <strong>Historical Horizons</strong>, students journey through ancient civilizations, bringing history to life through architecture, jewelry-making, animation and more. Each five-day camp is led by Jen’s team of educators and taught in English, with bilingual support available.</p>
<p><strong> </strong>For high school students aiming for top global art and design universities, JEN Art Academy offers a rigorous <strong>College Prep Program</strong>. Drawing from her experience as a former RISD admissions officer, Jen has crafted a curriculum that mirrors the creative rigor and originality elite schools expect. Students develop concept-driven portfolios tailored to institutions like RISD, Parsons, and UAL, while receiving one-on-one mentorship throughout the entire application process, from idea generation to personal statements and interview prep. With a blend of real studio practice and design thinking, the program equips aspiring creatives to apply to top schools – and it currently boasts a 100 percent acceptance rate.</p>
<p>“I am super proud of our students and of our team who nurture their talents,” Jen says. “We’re growing fearless, original thinkers for the future.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="featured-img"><img src="https://www.beijing-kids.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/delicious-burgers-with-bright-lights-10-300x143.jpg" /></div><p>Xiaozhen Library, a beacon of community learning and empowerment founded by high school students, is once again opening its doors to the youth of Beijing for an enriching summer camp experience. They’re calling for teen volunteers to join in and make a difference by teaching English to eager young learners. This unique opportunity not only fosters a love for learning but also cultivates a sense of social responsibility and leadership among high school students.</p>
<p>Founded on the principle of youth empowerment, Xiaozhen Library has been a hub for community engagement and learning since its inception. Now, they are extending their reach by inviting high school students between grades 9 and 12 to volunteer and contribute to their summer camp program. Fluent in English and passionate about community service, these volunteers will play a pivotal role in shaping the educational journey of young children in Beijing.</p>
<p>Volunteering at Xiaozhen Library’s summer camp offers high school students a platform to make a meaningful impact while honing their leadership and communication skills.

The requirements for volunteering are simple yet impactful: Students must be in grades 9-12, have a commitment to community service, be fluent in English, and have a desire to make a difference.</p>
<p>Whether it’s leading interactive language sessions, organizing creative activities, or simply lending a listening ear to young learners, volunteers will have the opportunity to contribute to the holistic development of children in the community.</p>
