Why is there such a big difference in tuition fees when the courses are not very different?

TEM follows a more traditional, academically structured model that aligns with standardized advancement systems, with Chinese as the primary language of instruction.
In contrast, BIA is built around 21st-century experiential learning principles, focusing on PBL (Project-Based Learning), HIP (High-Impact Practices), and STEAM education, with an emphasis on holistic development.
Therefore, the difference in tuition reflects not just the curriculum content but the depth, methodology, and goals of each educational program.
