“既然孩子較喜歡救恩,可先繼續讀傳統路線,待中學階段再考慮轉IB。”

School Details

Local

Our curriculum is based on the Bible and constructivism learning theory. Students’ learning occurs through “doing to learn ” and “playing to learn”. The project approach arouses the young children’s interest in learning through interacting with their surroundings. They will work together with their teachers to develop the learning content, collect information, explore senses, experiment and discuss. The activity enables children to cultivate related knowledge in each learning phase and develop their self-learning ability through inquiry learning, expression of opinion and problem-solving. The development of life skills and attitudes toward lifelong learning is cultivated through pleasurable learning experiences, which also lay a solid foundation for education afterwards. 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.
