Curriculum planning
|
Balanced theme-based courses integrating the spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, communal, and artistic aspects are designed according to children’s age characteristics for promotion of development of potentials. Learning elements such as whole braining development, scientific exploration, life skills, problem-solving ability and emotion management are also included.
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.

Assessment of children’s learning experiences

Assessment is made through ongoing observation to help the school, teachers and parents understand the children’s learning progress and outcome.
