Curriculum planning
|
Our curriculum is complied according to Biblical truth and centres around spiritual education. Children are nurtured in an environment filled with love to practise Christ's love -- they care about others and the society. We foster children to love learning, to communicate well and to be innovative. Sharing words of the Scripture every day and to praise and worship God together.
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
|
We adopt the learning approach that allows children to "learn from play" and "experience from practice". Our teaching encompasses Montessori life skill education: including daily life manners, taking care of the self and the environment; education from sensory, mathematics, language, cultural to natural humanistic. We provide diversified activities for developing children's "multiple intelligences", which include experiments, simulations, creative work and visits. We adopt the "Project Approach" for building up knowledge and acquiring life skills. We create unlimited space for imagination and make use of picture books for interactive teaching, not only widen childrens' learning aspects and also develop their potential.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
We record children's learning through continuous observation for assessment, assessing each unit theme and the summative assessment. Each child has a learning portfolio, includes learning workbook, behavioural observation logging and all the records of their learning history in the areas of cognitive, social, emontional, aesthetic and physical development.
