With its management members each having bachelor’s and/or master’s degrees in English, education and/or psychology from renowned universities in China and abroad, SPA is well managed and enjoys a high reputation in the field of English education. In 2008, SPA was awarded 5-A Status (the highest status) of Non-Manufacturing Organization by Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau. SPA is authorized by the Chinese government to process Foreign Expert Certificate for qualified teachers, the only certificate to legally authorize a foreigner to teach in China. SPA has one of the largest teacher teams of native-English speakers in Shanghai, perhaps in China.
SPA provides many English programs catering to the middle-class Chinese families. 5-Year Pacican English Program (Pacican) and General Oral English Program (GO) are two of them. There are more than 80 schools currently participating in the aforesaid programs. About 10,000 primary-school students register in the Pacican English Program alone every semester. Both programs combine the western methods of teaching and learning English that immerses students in a natural and fun environment with the Chinese ways of monitoring and evaluation. Such innovation has been well accepted by Chinese schools and students.
