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.
