StoryJungle in Schools

We're not only in a center, we're in schools too! With our unique program and positive outlook, we have been invited to be guest teachers at many schools throughout Hong Kong. Depending on the schools' needs, we either lead school-wide English Fun activities or go to schools weekly as supplementary teachers for reading programs.

Since we prize student participation and excitement, we always ensure that our classes and demonstrations are high energy. We enjoy going to schools since it is a very different dynamic than being in a center. Depending on the length and duration of classes versus demonstrations, we employ a variety of techniques to incite interest in the students.

For demonstrations we try to divide into smaller groups so that the students have individual attention. For classes, we incorporate our reading and writing program with oral participation. This has proven to be a very popular service that we provide and we enjoy reaching out to as many students as possible.

Our Center

StoryJungle is located in the heart of Central, right across the street from the metro. Our facilities include a library, a kiddy play area and classroom, as well as two other large classrooms. We incorporate multimedia and have the students make presentations using boards as well as computers. We created a welcoming atmosphere so that new students will immediately feel at home. We also added whimsical elements from books, and our students' work adorn the walls. Since we are an international group we have worked hard to make sure that our center reflects our global outlook. This stimulating environment is exactly what students of all ages enjoy and part of what makes them want to come back for more!

Stop by and say hi!

Our Students

Here at StoryJungle, we have students ranging from two years of age all the way to seventeen and eighteen years old! They are all enthusiastic and very excited about learning. They also very caring and sweet. We make it a strong goal to really bond with our students. Many are kids who have been coming for years while others are just joining our family. We love seeing new faces and meeting new friends. These students come for a variety of classes and often enjoy relaxing in our lounge before and after classes.

We have an extensive library that students take advantage of frequently. You can even borrow books to take home! Our selection includes bestsellers and award winning story books from around the world. Come on over and have a browse.

Our Teachers

The teachers at StoryJungle are dedicated to making sure that each student is excited about the courses and the material. We aim to provide a comfortable atmosphere where every student, regardless of age, can have fun and ask questions. We encourage curiosity and hope to draw out this trait in every child we meet. Curiosity leads to genuine interest and this is the most important part of a child's ability to retain knowledge.

Reading is fun but it's amazing how many kids don't know that! We hope to instill this in all of our students so that they will pick up books on their own. Reading helps create thoughtful and imaginative individuals who will go on to be successful in their lives and goals. For children whose first language is not English, books can be daunting but we hope to be able to ignite their innate enthusiasm and abilities to learn. StoryJungle aims to help children develop reading habits and enhance their language proficiency through reading.

If you want to meet us, keep reading or come see us in person!
