The 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, summer camp study tours,

and business tours, as well as research and other learning programs. Some of the Clarewood programs are

in partnership with Clarewood University, which is based in Northern Virginia near Washington DC.

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 over the years. 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 Clarewood Institute is also in working relationships with 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.
