School Details

Local

The core of the school curriculum focuses on five development objectives for young children, namely “Physical Development,” “Cognitive and Language Development,” “Affective and Social Development,” “Aesthetic Development” and “Moral Development” according to the guidelines issued by the EDB. These objectives need to be achieved through six learning areas, which are ''Physical Fitness and Health'', ''Language'', ''Early Childhood Mathematics'', ''Nature and Living'', ''Self and Society'' and ''Arts and Creativity''. By providing real-life and interesting theme-based learning experiences, children can cultivate positive values and attitudes and build a solid foundation for lifelong learning. We will follow the “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide” (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.
