EnglishPutonghuaCantonese· 浸潤式三語環境

Based on our mission and goals, the curriculum represent the school’s philosophy (Stimulate, Joy and Sustain). Stimulate: “Children’s wisdom is at their fingertips.” Our school encourages children to learn and apply through living. Joy: “Learn through playing without boundaries.” The children are the decision makers who can freely choose classrooms, teachers, companions and activities spontaneously without being restricted during playtime. Sustain: “Step out of the campus and get into society. ” Our school leads our students to experience different cultures and build a platform for their sustainable development and integration within the society. 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.
