Each exquisite piece of work and each remarkable moment showcased the rich achievements of Shangui Primary School’s distinctive school-based curriculum and the diverse interests and talents of its students. Wang Yinru, a fifth-grade student at Shangui Primary School, said with joy, “Our handicraft club is really interesting. The teachers not only taught us how to make handicrafts but also explained the culture of the Yellow River and local non-heritage stories. We not only practiced our manual skills but also learned about traditional culture.”

　　It is learned that Shanggou Primary School adheres to the core philosophy of "Universal Nurturance for Upward Growth". It strives to develop a three-level climbing curriculum system consisting of "Rooting, Growing and Aspiring for Great Heights", innovatively offers 28 distinctive club courses, equips dedicated activity venues, and collaborates with parents to jointly nurture students.
