Curriculum planning
|
We teach an age-appropriate, balanced curriculum integrating development across moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual areas to exploit children’s potentials. In addition, it incorporates whole-brain development, scientific inquiry, life skills, problem-solving skills and emotions and other learning elements.
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

We adopt a theme-based teaching approach. To exploit children’s various learning interests, we alternately organize dynamic and static activities, including group learning, games, role playing, real object observation, physical training, outdoor visits, etc., and provide different environment arrangements as well as enlightening aids and materials.
|
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences

With continuous observations, records and assessments, we offer schools, teachers and parents an understanding of children's learning progress and achievements.
