Curriculum Details

Curriculum planning
We adopted various teaching approach such as thematic, programs and projects etc for children. For enriching their learning experience, we incorporate local historical cultural arts, environmental protection programs into our curriculum as well. Moreover, it is based on the students interests and living environment to develop self-directed learning, self-confidence and problem solving skill. It progresses gradually according to their ability.
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
To stimulate active learning in young children, activities such as visits, experiments, simulation games, free play and picture book teaching are encouraged. Children are encouraged to explore different areas in learning, and parents are invited to explore new things both inside and outside the community with their children. Cooperation activities with community groups, middle schools and elementary schools are also carried out to enhance children's interest in learning.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
