Those of you who are already somewhat familiar with House of Knowledge, will know that we are a premium tri-lingual school that introduced the “child-centered” Reggio Emilia education philosophy to Beijing in 2007 as a pioneer. Through years of consistent efforts to provide premium multi-language learning environment for the children (18 months – 6 years), our German class students of House of Knowledge are immersed in a real multi-cultural and trilingual educational environment (German/Chinese/English). 
Many members at House of Knowledge are either German or have connections to German heritage, which is often evident through the rigorous working styles of the team members as well as the many wonderful German traditions we pay homage to throughout the year.
Today, we would like to introduce some members of our German team to you! From founder, principal, to teachers, House of Knowledge is equipped with a very strong German team that allows our German culture to be authentically immersed in student’s daily life.
