🎯 Teaching Approach

Our teaching is arranged according to 2 major objectives: 1) To broaden international perspectives: Since 2006, we have been videoconferencing with partners such as the University of Cambridge as well as connecting with children from Miami, Texas, London, Wales, Miami, etc. We have also helped children from developing countries, even adopting 7 children one year from Haiti and Ethiopia through a charity art exhibition. This year, York is taking things to a new level. First, we are partnering with famous HK street artist XEME to create an NFT in the metaverse to help people in Turkey. We have also invited primary schools in Hong Kong and the USA to take part. Second, we are planning to have a simulated Dinosaur Dig, whereby children will get to unearth a Tyrannosaurus skull as well as talk to a paleontologist (dinosaur hunter). 2) International academic standards benchmarks: Our key subjects are benchmarked against teaching levels from the UK and USA. We encourage our students to challenge themselves against academic standards such as the Cambridge English Starters and Movers Tests, the American SAT 10 Mathematics assessment, the National College of Music, London preparatory violin exam, etc.

🤝 Student Support

We provide a lot of support. 1) Learning : High foreign teacher-to-student ratio in a small class setting; specialized software designed in-house to help children extend the learning process beyond the classroom; helping children to challenge international benchmarks in the core subjects of Putonghua, English and Mathematics. 2) Sportsmanship: We are the first kindergarten in Hong Kong to have a specialized in-house golf, archery and tennis programme, backed and sponsored by Prince Tennis. 3) Music: all of our students are exposed to the rudiments of playing the violin before they graduate. We also have an annual Christmas ball, whereby the boys invite the girls to the dance and the children get to practice the Waltz and the Flamenco that we taught them during the year.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Activities

We have a lot of activities, such as parent-child autumn outings, Christmas parties, parents' class observations, parent-child fund-raising activities, Art exhibitions, International Photo Exhibitions, etc. Please see our website for more details.
