Curriculum planning
|
A child-centred curriculum arranged in the spiral and progressive approach. It corresponds to the development and interests of children of different ages. Knowledge in 6 key areas is integrated in themes in line with children’s life experiences. Through various activities and interesting games, children are stimulated to bring into play their potentials for ‘holistic development’ to foster the life learning attitude.
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
|
K1-K3 Cambridge English Course - Taught by English teachers daily
There are four foreign English teachers at the school who teach Cambridge English courses through whole-class and group activities every day. They utilize teaching methods such as phonics, games, children's songs, and stories to enhance children's interest in English and enable them to learn in a pleasant and natural environment. Upon completion of the course, parents can apply for the Cambridge English Examination (YLE).
PN Bilingual Class
Chinese and English teachers serve as class teachers, creating a rich English language environment. The classroom emphasizes the development of children's moral character, as well as the enhancement of their self-care and gross and fine motor skills. This approach enables children to learn to cooperate with others and develop social skills within a pleasant environment.
K1-K3 Bilingual Courses
Delivered by both Chinese and English teachers, the English curriculum comprises 20 minutes of whole-class learning and 1 hour and 20 minutes of group learning activities daily. The program also includes weekly STEM experience activities, Happy Bee team gatherings, and character-building exercises to offer children a comprehensive education in a stimulating and enjoyable setting.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
A ‘profile on learning assessment’ is kept. Thematic assessments, ongoing observations and recording of children’s learning and behavioral performances are done by teachers. Joint assessments are done by home and school so that both parties better understand a child’s learning progress.
