Curriculum Details

Local
Curriculum planning
Based on the structure of “experience-based learning, curiosity-based exploration and care-based growth”, we design diversified activities such as site visiting, stem activities, DIY cooking, drama education and e-learning. These activities are based on the Guide of the Pre-primary Curriculum which enables children to carry out meaningful learning through observation, operation, thinking and application. The goal is to obtain different categories of knowledge and experience and develop multiple intelligences in an all-round way.
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 mainly adopt “theme-based” and “project-based” teaching modes. We have implemented “experience-based” and "mixed age” learning modes including small group learning, free play and extension activities to let children acquire knowledge and different learning experience through personal practice and practical involvement and promote peer leading and mutual simulation through cross-age interaction.
The English courses are taught by native English teachers. We have adopted an English day. It is an interactive English Program that to enhance their English skills and to increase their confidence in using English.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
Set up a Children’s Study Portfolio based on on-going observation to evaluate children's development in all aspects.
Child development report will be delivered to parents at the end of each terms. Enable parents to understand the children’s learning progress and needs. We will refine the curriculum, adjust the learning content according to children learning performance.
School Characteristics
School vision and mission
