It also helps them become more focused and self-disciplined, improves their academic efficiency, and ultimately leads to greater academic achievements.
At Xian Yun, we hope to foster in our students a love for lifelong learning by providing a variety of opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. Between coursework, community service, and extra-curricular activities, students learn to reach beyond their comfort zone, discover new interests, and work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and aspirations.
