According to the school's educational objectives and teaching philosophy, the elementary school has built its own unique curriculum system based on the cultivation of six basic key abilities and six growth key abilities of students, and formed the SMIC special curriculum based on the "Happy Learning Classroom", which includes four blocks of teaching contents: basic curriculum, extension curriculum, research curriculum and growth curriculum.

Basic Curriculum
Precise objectives, Grasp the Foundation, The Combination of East and West, Diversified Integration

（1）Compulsory education curriculum. In accordance with national regulations, the curriculum is offered in full at the compulsory education level, and full class time is offered.

（2）Special English. Covering English Science, English Works Appreciation, English Reading and English Writing courses, children develop independent learning habits, independent thinking, problem solving and critical thinking skills through thematic inquiry and cooperative learning in an immersive English environment.

In addition to the special classes, there are also a variety of after-school activities. For example, "Model United Nations", "English Debate" and "English Speech" in the upper grades; "Drama Performance", "English Song Show" and "Word Spelling Contest" in the lower and middle grades. In the lower and middle grades, there are drama performances, English song demonstrations, and word spelling contests, so that children can express themselves with confidence and show their full potential. By the time students graduate from elementary school, their English proficiency and literary literacy can reach the graduation level of middle school students in ordinary public schools.

Since 2013, we have been implementing the “Happy Reader" program and have established four reading degree levels: "Bookish Person," "Bookish Bachelor," "Bookish Master," and "Bookish Doctor.

In addition, character education is led by monthly character theme learning, and is mainly carried out in class meetings, life education classes, and morality and rule of law classes, and permeated in daily subject teaching and various activities. The life education curriculum is based on the four themes of "man and self," "man and man," "man and the environment" and "man and life. It is conducted in the form of core curriculum, subject infiltration curriculum, school activities, and life education classes for parents, leading children to know, appreciate, cherish, and respect life, and helping children learn to love themselves, others, and life in the project learning, thus showing quality life force.
