Junyi Academy - Inspired by Khan Academy
Inaugurated in October 2012, Junyi Academy is an expanding Chinese based online education platform that provides world class learning free to all users. ACF and Junyi Academy, recognizes that learning styles and methods are changing worldwide. Students increasingly seek knowledge through the internet. Majority of the learning materials online are available only in English, inaccessible to the mandarin speaking population. The website was founded to deliver equal learning opportunities to these communities, particularly, from under-resourced communities.
The learning website is a successful partnership between Junyi Academy and ACF. Through the internet, students are able to access its comprehensive curriculum. More importantly each student’s progress can be monitored by a teacher, parent or mentor. Currently the website offers an excellent curriculum for mathematics, biology, physics, English, chemistry, and more.
Junyi Academy has two objectives. The first is to serve as a teaching tool for classrooms using the “flip teaching” method. Students learn through video lectures at home and then work on homework assignments in the classroom with teachers. The second is to be widely accessible to children from under-resourced communities so that they have the same learning opportunities as children from urban communities.
The website is an ongoing project. Currently offering around 4,000 videos for learning, with over 150,000 users registered and over thousands of viewings per day. This joint effort of ACF and Junyi Academy aims to make sure education is widely available for all those who has a desire to learn.
