Curriculum planning
|
We offer a child-centered Christian education. Our “Theme-Based Life Education”, “Learning With Stories” and “Spiral Curriculum” are designed to broaden children’s learning experience across six major areas, empower them to learn through play and experience through practice and help them realize balanced development in knowledge, attitudes and skills. Our three-year "Parent-Child Moral Education Program" enables our children to develop correct values and outlook on life from childhood by learning and practicing fifteen basic moral characters in their daily lives and helps them deal with and face the challenges of growth.
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
|
With project-based approach, we extend children's learning areas and enrich their experiences. To inspire children's curiosity, we allow them to explore and operate things by themselves. By participating in group discussions, exploration and reporting activities, children can improve their 9 generic abilities including problem-solving, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, learning, etc., and lay a good foundation for further education. With the focus on biliterate and trilingual teaching, we specially engage native English teachers and professional Mandarin teachers to teach children in groups, to improve their abilities to listen, speak, read and phoneticize. Our teachers, who have been awarded Sensory Integration Certificate, compile Sensory Integration Exercise course and train children every week, so that we can promote children's developments when they are in at ages 0 – 8 crucial to brain development, improve their brain-based learning efficiency, facilitate whole-person development and help them lay a solid foundation for further education. We organize outdoor visits, simulation games, etc. according to the needs of theme- and project-based teaching approaches, to extend children’s learning areas and experiences. Meanwhile, we arrange Holiday Celebrations, English Week, Mandarin Week, Multiple Activities Week, Religious Week and other learning activities, so that children are empowered to acquire knowledge and experience during playing and doing.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Continuous learning observation reports are distributed for each unit and growth portfolios are developed which contain students' learning highlights, works and personal observation records. Further, project-based teaching & learning reports are prepared so that parents know more about their children's learning progress and development in all aspects.
