Curriculum planning
We offer a child-centered curriculum where children can learn in a systemic, progressive manner as they grow. They can build up their initiative and inquiry spirit from first-hand experience and outdoor activities. We also take care of the individual differences of students. Outdoor learning experience brings out the essence of child learning theories, "Learning by Doing" and "Learning through Play”, helping children exploit their full personal potentials.
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
Except theme-based teaching integrating activities, we adopt Project Approach to extend K1 to K3 children's learning experiences. Group learning through games, experiments, visits, etc., to improve children's autonomy and problem-solving ability and consolidate the subject knowledge. Our school joins the “STEAM” teaching element, through the teaching activity which unifies with the life situation and the actual hands-on work, the student obtains is can face the life challenge to have the ability and the attitude.

Mandarin courses and Phonics curriculum provide much fun for children for diversified learning.
