Curriculum planning
|
Our teaching team independently designs the school-based curriculum and develops teaching materials, employing interactive methods such as games. Each learning theme incorporates stories or picture books to enhance students' enjoyment of learning. We place a high value on language education and are dedicated to cultivating students proficient in Chinese and English. Each class is overseen by a native English-speaking teacher and a Cantonese-speaking teacher, and Putonghua is taught by native Mandarin-speaking teachers.
Our curriculum also includes music and art courses that blend Chinese and Western cultures, broadening students' horizons and encouraging creativity. Additionally, we teach students self-care skills and positive social interactions.
Character development is a cornerstone of our school's mission. We are committed to instilling positive values in our students, and we do this through our dedicated religious and moral education classes. Our aim is to develop good character in our students, allowing them to experience the love of Christ and understand the truth. This commitment to character education sets us apart and ensures that our students receive a holistic education.
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
We emphasize exploratory and experiential learning by designing various activities inside and outside the classroom, encouraging students to use their hands and minds to perceive natural phenomena and explore the relationships between different things, thus inspiring their curiosity. In the classroom, we set up diverse interest corners with games themed around everyday life, helping students understand various life concepts and enhancing their problem-solving skills.
We arrange science experiments, invite professionals to give lectures at the kindergarten and lead students on visits to museums and community facilities. Additionally, we implement weekly Chinese and English reading and recitation programs, where teachers engage in one-on-one reading sessions with students to enhance their language sensitivity and foster a love for languages.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Teachers conduct ongoing observations throughout the year, regularly recording and analyzing children's learning performance. At the end of each semester, our school distributes a "Student’s Learning Portfolio" to parents. These portfolios include thematic assessment forms and observation reports. Parents are informed about their child's learning progress, abilities, and needs.
