Beijing, as the capital city of China, is the center of the country’s political, cultural, and educational systems and is therefore best represents the highest levels of development of the national K-12 education program. Entrusted projects such as the “Research on Policies for Curriculum Setting, Teaching Modes and Reform Experiments in Early Training Outstanding Top-notch Talents in Beijing” sponsored by the Municipal Commission of Education and the “Empirical Research on Scientific inquiry and Creative Talents Training” sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology made use of the principle of convenience sampling to select cloud-based creative talent courses of Beijing F High School. This school served as the subject and representative institution offering creative talent training programs in both projects and has many years of experience in offering diverse curriculums of experimental classes for creative talents. In these cloud-based courses, elementary school students finishing their 4th grade were selected to undergo junior high school level curriculum.

N2 - Training of creative talents during K-12 education affects the future of a nation. As a result, researchers in China and other countries give special attention to the field of pedagogy. This paper evaluated an experimental class of Beijing F High School as the case study, and performed an empirical study on cloud-based pedagogy for training the creative talents, a quantitative study based on the 6 basic aspects of Tyler's theory, a qualitative study using ethnography for classroom observation that included interviews of teachers, students, and observers, and employed a sequential mixed research method used for data collection and analysis. Results demonstrated that cloud-based pedagogy in the creative-talent class of Beijing F High School focused on objectives in its orientation, the curriculum content, implementation and development reflecting the richness, regression, correlation, and rigor of postmodern curriculum. By using the accelerated and enriched cloud-based curriculum and focusing on the Talent Search Model, the Beijing F High School was able to gain rich experiences in the training of creative talents in Chinese K-12 education.
