Curriculum type

Curriculum planning

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.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities

Our kindergarten implements a school-based curriculum: “Project-Approach Learning”, in which the learning themes relate to daily life. There is no specific teaching kit in the courses. With the use of picture books, children’s interests can be sparked by the topic. Through exploration, observation, experience, sharing and data collection; our students are able to construct knowledge, develop skills, establish good living habits and positive moral values. Field trips are arranged for every project theme. At the end of each project, children’s learning outcomes are shown. The school records every child’s learning progress and work into a booklet to help their sustainable development. Language education is treated with great importance in our school. Biliteracy and trilingualism are implemented in our school as we provide an immersive trilingual environment. Each level has bilingual and trilingual teachers who organise activities close to our lives and allow children to naturally develop their language skills through various activities. Our school’s mission is to nurture children with the spirit of Christ’s care. It is to emphasize the development of their spiritual and moral education. Children learn about the truth of our heavenly father and bear the fruit of the spirit through religious activities and children worship.

Assessment of children’s learning experiences

For parents to understand the development of their child, our school provides an ‘individual learning experience assessment file’ to each child for continuous and summative evaluation.
