Adolescence is probably the beginning of this book.

At the lecture, the teachers made the students feel relaxed through questionnaires, self-portraits, quizzes, and other fun activities. Gradually the students opened up and started to talk and share their “little secrets of growth.”

“Expert lectures are an important part of the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) course. Adolescents may experience dramatic emotional fluctuations and psychological conflicts because of their rapid physical changes in this stage of life. By giving them patient care and scientific guidance, we can greatly alleviate their psychological stress in this transient period of their lives. KWA and parents will make joint efforts to effectively and professionally educate adolescents on life-related issues and help more children recognize the unique and beautiful part of themselves and others,” said Li Yang, a psychology teacher at Beijing Kaiwen Academy.

In foreign countries, EQ education has long been incorporated into the teaching system of primary and secondary schools. SEL is a feature course at Beijing Kaiwen Academy for students in different learning stages.

At KWA, the students affectionately call the SEL course the “happiness course.” The course is designed to help students understand themselves and the world around them so that they will be able to adapt to a changing environment, face stress and challenges, maintain good interpersonal relationships, and develop a sense of purpose and responsibility. It will also help our students build a safer, warmer, and more positive psychological environment so that the knowledge they have acquired in the classroom can better prepare them for life outside the campus and lay a solid foundation for their future academic success and healthy development in both personality and intelligence.
