The
words "Kum Sung" have become a household
name in Ocean County. We run a family business that has been educating youngsters,
children, teens,
adults and families successfully for over a quarter of a century. We feel
that a genuine commitment to education is what has contributed to our success
and credibility.
The "Kum Sung" philosophy is the teaching of sincerity
and respect. If these qualities are built into a child's life, it will
become a part of
their personality. Sung Star Academy will educate all children to be successful
and strive for their personal best. The curriculum will embellish individual
developmental levels and guide children socially, emotionally and academically.
"Together
with our families we build parenting into our daily schedule. It will be
done without the intent of replacing parents and will be accomplished
through effective communication. This will be one of the many ways we
plan to meet you child's individual needs."
"With an abundance of
love and attention, we believe that each child should have the opportunity
for his or her 'personal star' to rise." At
Sung Star Academy we will strive to accomplish this.
"Your Kids are our Kids too!"
Sung Star’s curriculum has been designed by blending the very best of educational theories. Much time has been spent researching the most current and reputable curriculums making it unique for Sung Star Academy. We have created our curriculum based on educational masters that focus on multi sensory teachings, child centered philosophies and creative experiences.
With an Asian philosophy in mind, the driving force is to focus on age appropriate child development and the teaching of patience, building self-esteem, truth, honor and respect for self and others. In doing so we are praising children and assisting them to make good choices. We have found that this approach creates positive behavior. The use of continuous re-direction is what guides youngsters to make correct and positive choices. It is not Sung Star’s responsibility to discipline children. We believe that responsibility lies with each individual family.
We recognize that all children possess a natural curiosity. This allows a child to develop as a complete well rounded individual. One of the many program priorities is the development of a positive self-concept. In our stimulating and secure atmosphere, our children are guided through daily activities that encourage critical thinking, reasoning and evaluating the world around them This global educational approach is designed without the intention or need for skill mastery. We bring in opportunities, experiences, exploration and exposure for all age children to have the opportunity to be successful.
Through active parent participation, our program extends beyond our classrooms and into their homes. It reaches the child’s first and only consistent teacher: the parents! Our philosophy includes our families in the education process as well as in the classrooms.
