Curriculum planning
|
Based on children's whole person development and matching the direction of educational reform, our curriculum encompasses five developmental objective (namely "Physical ", "Cognitive and Language ", "Affective and Social ", "Aesthetic" and “Moral” ) and six learning areas. We teach through games which inspires children's exploration, thinking ability, imagination, memory and expression ability. Moreover, positive values and good attitudes are cultivated.
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 enrich young children's learning experience, we adopt different learning/teaching approaches and activities, which include the Activity Approach, the Thematic Approach, games, outdoor visits, small-group activities, parent-child reading scheme, and project studies.
