Welcome to NCCAE Fall Semester!! NCCAE will offer some new classes to address the needs from our communities, the class registration starts now. 

To be the leader, or not to be the leader, that is the question. This question is the same as Shakespeare asked in his most famous "Hamlet" . The "Old Yellow Ox" spirit may be in your blood as it goes centuries in our history and pass on to your children even they were born here. While we are in this land of opportunity, we have to face the reality: To be a leader or to be follower. To change that attitudes, and change your behavior from a follower to a leader, NCCAE will offer a chance to just do it: that is our new offering of: “The leadership” class. The seats for the class are limited to 12 first lucky registers, and the number is running out quicker than you expect, and all later comers will be put in a waiting list without any exceptions. 

Another new class is the Advanced Elementary English Reading. I don’t think your children have problems of reading English. However if you want him/her to be fostering a good habit, mastering the reading essence and standing out, then you may think the Advanced Elementary English Reading Class. Also the seats are limited too. 

The third new class is the PSAT workshop. If you are 11^th grader, you have to take it. It’s best practice for the 10^th grader to take the PSAT just for test water so you know how to improve yourselves to take it when you are in 11^th grade. There are some scholarships provided to the best achievers in the test. In 2008, more than 10,000 test takers shared some slice of the $50 million cake. 

For Public Speech class 1 and 2, some students could not attend them due to later registration than others, and were put into a waiting list, now you are guaranteed to have a seat in the class you late registered last Summer. But you have to register this time too. 

Mathcount class was split into two classes, Mathcount 1 and Mathcount 2 (advanced) to address the different levels of students in the same class so that your children will learn the math more efficiently. 

 NCCAE leadership is open minded, if your children  would want to learn something  or you want your children to learn something, you may ask us if we can build a business case to open that class just for you (it’s better you have a group of parents to make a business case)

THE POWER OF SPEECH

 NCCAE New Class Offering for 2009 Spring Semester

Speech is power; speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. The speech is the mirror of the soul. When a man speaks, so is he. The Chinese traditional virtue is that keep low profile and don’t speak it out, as long as you do it, people will find it and reward what you did. That is the old timer. The time is changing especially in this land of opportunity, I bet you know it. Probably it may be too late to know it for you, but it may not be too late for your children.

The Truth About Books

 Diana Lu, Champion of NCCAE Public Speech Competition

    I have a question for all of you. Do you know what a book truly is? Sure, you might all be thinking that it’s just a lump of papers bound together, filled with words to form stories. But no. That’s not all of it.
    A book is a portal to a different world. No, seriously. Do you think our world has a part of it where dragons run free and magic is common? Or, does it contain all the underwater adventures that Captain Nemo and his crew experienced?  You may have heard that a book is a door, but that’s not true. A door only takes you to what’s on the other side of it, and what’s on the other side of the book is only the back of the cover. No, I prefer to use the word PORTAL. A portal can take you ANYWHERE!! From outer space, to the other side of the world! Think about it. Doesn’t that sound VERY similar to a book? Another thing a book can do is split you in half, (don’t worry, not literally) take one half and stuff it in the book, while leaving the other half on earth. This would explain why you always seem to be sucked into a good book. So, I have just explained to you why I think a book is a portal, and what other things it can do. So please, next time you hear someone say a book is a door, do kindly correct them. It would mean a lot to me.
