Ferris Wheel Education

Ferris Wheel Education provides a comprehensive K–8 academic pathway, centered on the student and focused on long-term, in-depth academic growth.

We have developed a leading, well-structured after-school academic program spanning Mathematics, Writing, English Language Arts, Spanish, and Chinese. Our curriculum is thoughtfully aligned with the expectations of top private schools, supporting students in developing clarity of understanding, strength in expression, and depth in thinking.

At FWE, mathematics builds logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving ability; writing develops clear, structured expression and analytical thinking; English Language Arts helps students understand the world through reading and discussion while forming their own voice and judgment; language programs expand global awareness and cross-cultural communication skills.

Our faculty consists of experienced educators and subject experts who emphasize guidance, mentorship, and long-term development. Through small-group instruction and continuous feedback, we support each student’s steady growth.

In addition to group classes, we offer high-quality K–12 one-on-one instruction and private school admissions support, with both in-person and online options to provide flexible and comprehensive learning solutions for families.

Here, students not only strengthen their academic abilities, but also develop strong learning habits, disciplined thinking, and the inner stability needed to approach complex challenges with confidence—growing into learners with clarity, expression, and long-term potential.

After watching Hoppers, my kids and I kept talking about it.

With Earth Day coming up at school—
Cynthia has been researching for over a month and will present next week,
and Chloe will have her outdoor school trip—
the film felt especially real to them.

It quietly brings up a simple but powerful question:
Whose home is the Earth?

Different lives share the same planet—
mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, insects—
each with their own language, their own world.

Maybe understanding begins with learning to listen.

One thing the kids noticed:
like in writing class—every story has a challenge,
and what matters is choosing to act and not giving up.

There were also moments that stayed with us—
things we barely notice can deeply affect other lives.
And even when humans disrupt nature,
kindness can still come from unexpected places.

Cynthia said her favorite moment was when animals chose to help humans protect their home.
“She said, animals are really kind.”

Sometimes kids see the truth more clearly than we do.

The Earth was never just ours.
It’s a home we share—and need to protect together. 🌎

World language is global competence.

In the United States, Spanish is not merely a “foreign language.”
It is both a deeply rooted language of this land
and one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

In both public and private schools,
Spanish ultimately becomes part of the core academic sequence.
The difference is not whether — but when.

In California public schools, it typically formalizes around 7th grade.
In many private schools, it begins earlier —
often during the elementary years.

Many families only recognize its academic weight
once high school language requirements begin.
By then, foundational gaps are far more difficult to close.

Language is never decoration.
It is part of the future.

creating a supportive yet challenging learning environment.

Ferris Wheel Education – Pre-K & Kindergarten Private School Preparation Program
Designed with top private-school standards, a structured curriculum, and a team of expert educators, we help children build a true foundation for admission into their ideal schools.

We focus on developing the four core abilities most valued by leading private schools:
✨ Language Comprehension
✨ Reading & Writing Readiness
✨ Mathematical Thinking
✨ Communication & Confidence

From Caldecott Award–winning picture books to systematic phonics training,
from playful math exploration to structured writing practice,
every lesson is carefully aligned with private school expectations and steadily strengthens students’ academic foundations.

To help children adapt to future private school interviews and assessments, our class structure is modeled after Shadow Day / Group Assessment formats:
✔ Task cooperation & rule-following
✔ Group interaction, expression, and active listening
✔ Classroom rhythm management & independent task completion
✔ Observation of social skills, focus, and executive functioning

In natural classroom settings, children become familiar with the learning behaviors and performance patterns that top private schools look for—allowing them to enter future assessments with confidence.
