Curriculum planning
|
The curriculum is designed in a spiral fashion, with thematic teaching as the main approach. According to the developmental needs of the children and the six key learning areas specified by the Education Bureau, diverse learning experiences are provided. Complementing this, project-based learning is utilized to allow the children to experience an autonomous learning mode, ignite their learning interest, and enhance their critical thinking, self-confidence, self-discipline, interpersonal skills, and problem-solving abilities.
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
|
Children learn from play and integrated activities, with the aim of cultivating their ability to actively explore, think critically, and develop their proficiency in languages. Tailored to the themes and learning needs, diverse and well-rounded learning experiences are arranged to broaden the children's horizons.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
The school assesses students' performance and developmental progress through ongoing observation across key areas: Physical Development and Health, Language, Early Mathematics, Nature and Living, Self and Society, and Arts and Creativity.
To keep parents informed and updated, the school utilizes various channels, including daily communication, comments in student handbooks, bimonthly distribution of Thematic Unit Assessments, and parent-teacher conferences - twice annually for K2-K3 classes and three times per year for K1 classes.
|
School Characteristics
|
School vision and mission
|

Laying a foundation for the future, the school nurtures "spiritual growth" by instilling children’s steadfast beliefs, values, and interpersonal skills, emphasizes "intellectual growth" by developing children's language and critical thinking for expression and problem-solving, and fosters “physical growth” through music and fitness activities for coordination and self-care.
