Our Mission · 使命宣言
"Every child is a seed of brilliance, waiting to flourish."

「相信每個孩子都是一顆等待發光的種子，我們精心設計學習環境，以驗證的教學法與雙語沉浸培養智識好奇心。」

Seedsoflight Bilingual Montessori Academy was founded with a singular belief: that the earliest years are the most critical window for language acquisition, intellectual development, and character formation.

We don't simply teach children facts — we develop thinkers, problem-solvers, and globally-minded leaders who are equally at home in Chinese and American culture.

我們不只是教孩子知識，我們培養思想家、問題解決者，以及在中美文化中都能自如生活的全球公民。

FAQ · 常見問題

Frequently Asked Questions

常見問題解答

Does my child need to speak Mandarin to enroll? 孩子需要會說普通話才能入學嗎？ +
No Mandarin experience is required. Children are natural language acquirers — immersion from a young age is the most effective method. Both Mandarin-speaking and English-speaking families are welcome. Our bilingual environment benefits all children.

不需要任何普通話基礎。幼兒天生具有語言習得能力，沉浸式學習是最有效的方法。無論中英文背景的家庭都歡迎加入。
What is AMI Montessori certification? 什麼是 AMI 蒙特梭利認證？ +
AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) is the organization founded by Dr. Maria Montessori herself and represents the highest global standard for Montessori education. AMI-certified teachers complete approximately 9 months of rigorous residential training including supervised teaching practice and written examinations — very few programs in Arizona have this certification.

AMI（國際蒙特梭利協會）由瑪麗亞·蒙特梭利博士親自創立，代表全球最高蒙特梭利標準。AMI認證教師需完成約九個月的嚴格培訓，包括督導實習和書面考試。
What is the student-to-teacher ratio? 師生比例是多少？ +
We maintain a maximum of 1:10 in Year 1 (18–20 students with 2 teachers) and will not exceed 1:13 as we scale. Small class sizes allow our teachers to observe each child carefully and provide individualized learning plans (ILP).

第一年最多1:10（18-20名學生配2位教師），擴展後不超過1:13。小班制讓教師能仔細觀察每位孩子，提供個性化學習計劃（ILP）。
Where are you located? 學校位置在哪裡？ +
We are located in the North Phoenix / Deer Valley area along the Happy Valley Road corridor — minutes from TSMC's Fab 21 campus and accessible from major Scottsdale, Peoria, and Cave Creek commuting routes. Exact address will be confirmed upon licensing approval. Contact us for the latest location details.

位於北鳳凰城鹿谷 Happy Valley Road 走廊，距台積電Fab 21園區僅數分鐘車程。精確地址將於取得執照後確認，請聯繫我們獲取最新資訊。
Do you follow the Arizona academic calendar? 是否遵循亞利桑那州學術日曆？ +
Yes. We follow approximately 200 school days per year aligned with the Deer Valley Unified School District calendar, plus major Chinese cultural holidays (Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming). A summer enrichment camp runs 6 weeks from July to August.

是的，全年約200個學日，對應鹿谷統一學區日曆，並涵蓋主要中國傳統節日。暑期夏令營從七月至八月共六週。
How do I enroll my child? 如何為孩子報名入學？ +
Start by scheduling a 90-minute tour and orientation (in-person or Zoom). After the tour, you'll complete an application form and submit the $150 non-refundable application fee. Enrollment is confirmed upon payment of the registration fee and deposit. Spaces are limited — we recommend applying early.

先預約90分鐘參觀和說明會（面對面或Zoom）。參觀後填寫申請表並繳交150美元申請費。名額有限，建議盡早申請。
