For sake of providing more development opportunities for the students and meeting the demands for studying abroad of different households, the WEFLS offers English experimental class, the curriculum for diplomas of North America, minority language programs (Spanish and Korean) and various other programs to the students.

English program:

The survey shows that more than half of Chinese students would like to go to the English-speaking countries for further education. Not only because English is the number one language spoken in the world, but also because of the advanced economy and the world’s top teaching quality and educational resources in Europe and America. As a result, the English programs are the most popular study abroad programs with the most flexible choices of choosing schools and the widest range of jobs in the future. The WEFLS works in close collaboration with the public school boards in North America, well-known public high schools and private high schools to set up the diploma programs. On the basis of “3+0” and “1+2” programs for the students of senior high school, the students can gain the corresponding diplomas of North America if they can get enough credits as required (the overseas tuition fee will be charged according to the standards issued by the collaborative school boards and schools). At the same time, the WEFLS offers ESL, AP, SAT, STEAM and a series of curriculum to the students. And in order to provide various of learning opportunities for students to enter into the world’s top universities, the school breaks the grades’ restriction and conducts the teaching method which divides the class into different levels according to students’ proficiency in English.

Spanish program:

Spanish is the second most common language in the world and also the highest employment major among the minority languages in the universities of our country. At present, our country is in most urgent need of talents who are fluent in Spanish. In recent years, we enjoy even stronger links in our political mutual trust and business cooperation between China and the countries in South America. Therefore, the demand for talents who are fluent in Spanish is rapidly increasing. Spain, Argentina and some other countries are the higher education areas among Europe and South America. In addition, these countries have top business schools in the world. And the new energy, architecture, medicine and other majors are well-known in the world. What’s the most important is that these schools don’t limit the majors of international students. The public universities in Spain offer free education to the students, and you need only pay a small charge for registration. The college expense is around 50,000 Yuan per year. Compared with more than 200,000 Yuan for studying in English-speaking countries every year, this program is especially suitable for the working families. The Spanish program is designed to cultivate the talents for "One Belt One Road" strategic economic development.

Korean program:

The Korean overall education level comes out in front among the Asian countries. There are 361 universities in Korea recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. And a large number of majors are available to the international students. As the Chinese culture shares the same root with the Korean culture, the studying environment in Korea is safe and the adaptation period for students is relatively short. What’s more, it’s convenient for the students to come back from Korea. Besides, the entry requirements of the Korean universities are low, the procedures are convenient and the visa issuance rate is high. The tuition fee and living costs of an international student are around 50,000-80,000 Yuan per year, and the students can also enjoy the 30%-100% tuition waiver provided by most of universities. With the construction of Sino-Korea Free Trade Area in Weihai, a large number of multi-skilled talents with China-Korea cultural background and professional skills will be needed in the future.
