Curriculum planning
|
Our curriculum is set around children's daily life and its relevant experiences. We organize various learning activities for kids to cultivate a spirit to repect God and love people; we promote the balanced development of children in the spiritual, cognitive, physical, social, emotional, asethetic and practical aspects, so as to set a good foundation for their future lives.
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 is child-oriented. We inspire children to develop multiple intelligences through integrated teaching, school-based sound and emotion teaching, project study, outdoor visits, group discussion, moral educatiton, culture and arts activities, biliteracy and trilingualism, as well as the Whole Language Approach. We hire specialist teachers to teach English, Mandarin, physical fitness and dance.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Once a theme is completed for a class, the teacher records children's learning progress and creates a personal portfolio for each child with details from continuous observation and appraisals collected from parents. Students' learning portfolios are distributed at the parents' meeting at the end of each semester unitl graduation.
