Clarewood Institute

The mission of the Clarewood institute is to support educational, cultural and research activities. The Institute

conducts activities in support of professional training, teachers' development, study in the USA, study and

business tours, as well as research in Asian studies and early childhood learning.

Providing consulting services for students to study in American high schools, for summer camps, and for business

tours is an area that the institute has focused in. Students and professionals could choose to attend training

programs in English and American culture before taking their tours in the U.S. or entering high schools for

formal studies.

The institute has been involved in early childhood education since its inception. Working with practitioners and

professionals in the US and from abroad, Clarewood developed an English text book series for preschool

children of non-native English speakers. In association with International Association of Preschool Education

(IAPE), the Institute hosts a research center, Center for Integrated Project Approach, that aims at exploring

creative, enquiry-based practices inspired by the Project Approach and the Reggio Approach.

The Institute also supports the Center for Asian Politics and Policy (CAPP) and the Asian Politics and History

Association (APHA), which publishes an academic journal, Journal of Asian Politics and History (JAPH).

In support of APHA's annual conferences, the Institute conducts activities such as program

development,  conference organization and logistic support.
