📚 Curriculum
Our curriculum is set according to the Education Bureau's Guide to Pre-primary, covering all six learning areas. Our main objective is to foster children’s everyday life skills as well as promote the talents needed to succeed locally but also internationally in this 21st century. Some of these skills might include innovative thinking, mathematical logic, strategic thinking and problem solving capabilities. Our curriculum nurtures the whole child as well as putting empathise on literacy and trilingualism. English is taught 5 days a week through story books, exciting games and role play so children build up their ability to use English boldly and confidently in everyday life. Putonghua classes are taught by teachers who have obtained the Level One certification of the Putonghua Proficiency test. 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.
🎯 Teaching Approach
Using the picture book approach, we are able to create games, exploring activities, promote group work and group discovery. Children can share their experiences and have discussions. They are given room to observe, think, to scaffold learning as well as solve problems. The environment is rich with learning corners however the children are also given opportunities to go on school trips and talks, promoting diverse teachings. Children’s interests are followed therefore engagement is high as well as enjoyment of school. All in all, motivated learners.
🤝 Student Support
We arrange new student adaptation period, dental care, primary school simulation, kindergarten-primary school bridging courses, individual counselling for students, etc. Every year, our board of directors allocates funds to sponsor children's interest classes, scholarships for outstanding students, and art scholarships.
