Curriculum planning
|
We are a children's learning community who are enthusiastic about nurturing children’s development in arts, sciences and languages. We aim to set high, but realistic, learning objectives for children, focusing on facilitating children's education in a global context.
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
To broaden international perspectives: Since 2006, we have been videoconferencing with partners such as the University of Cambridge as well as connecting with children from Miami, Texas, London, Wales, Miami, etc. We have also helped children from developing countries, even adopting 7 children one year from Haiti and Ethiopia through a charity art exhibition.
This year, York is taking things to a new level. First, we are partnering with famous HK street artist XEME to create an NFT in the metaverse to help people in Turkey. We have also invited primary schools in Hong Kong and the USA to take part. Second, we are planning to have a simulated Dinosaur Dig, whereby children will get to unearth a Tyrannosaurus skull as well as talk to a paleontologist (dinosaur hunter).
2) International academic standards benchmarks: Our key subjects are benchmarked against teaching levels from the UK and USA. We encourage our students to challenge themselves against academic standards such as the Cambridge English Starters and Movers Tests, the American SAT 10 Mathematics assessment, the National College of Music, London preparatory violin exam, etc.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Internal assessments occur biannually in Jan and June. However, most of our children also partake in external international assessments like the Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition (SAT 10), Cambridge YLE Tests, Trinity College London GESE Exams and the GAPSK Kindergarten Putonghua Proficiency Test.
|
School Characteristics

School vision and mission

We adopt the cultivation of arts and creativity, science and technology and languages to develop their potential. Please visit our website for more details (www.st-lorraine.edu.hk) or visit us on Facebook at “St. Lorraine English Kindergarten”.
|
Support to students
|
We provide tennis, golf and archery activities within the formal curriculum. In order to enhance creativity within learning, we also teach violin in our music lessons. As well as regular seminars and P.1 entrance workshops, etc, we provide learning software to help children to learn at home.
|
Support to non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students
|
The school uses biliterate and trilingual language as teaching languages. We have attached Pronunciation QR Code to children's exercise books to help students to learn Chinese and Putonghua vocabulary at home. To take into account the needs of the non-Chinese speaking parents, our notifications are presented in both Chinese and English.
|
Support to students with special needs
|
Our teachers are extremely concerned about children with individual needs, we communicate closely with parents to understand the situation of children at home. Teacher will regularly follow up with the principal on the progress of each individual case, and will arrange to meet up with parents to provide appropriate support and advice.
