📚 Curriculum
The spiral theme-based curriculum is supported with specially designed activities and project-based approach for independent learning of children. Group activities are designed to guide children to plan, do and review so as to arouse their learning interest, develop self-confidence, self-discipline and problem-solving ability. Learning through play is also included in the group activities.Students are arranged to leave the classroom and carry out all-round learning experiences and activities as required by the themes learnt. 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
Multiple intelligences are stimulated through theme-based approach, specially designed activities and learning through play and integrated activities. The development of language ability is emphasized. We basically teach with the mother tongue supported with interest activities to preliminarily expose children to Putonghua and English language.
🤝 Student Support
‘Parent-child adaptation week’ is arranged for new students. Parents may accompany their children in class to help them adapt to campus life progressively. ‘Kindergarten-primary interface’ courses are arranged to transition to primary one. Individual students with special needs will be referred to professional counselling services.
👨👩👧 Parent Activities
Home-school communication is emphasized. ‘Parents meetings’ are organized for all grades in both semesters to introduce the curriculum; ‘Parents day’ and 'Lesson observations by parents' are held in the school year. Various parents’ education courses, workshops and activities are organized jointly with our social worker every school year.
