Curriculum planning
|
Our Chinese, English, and Mathematics curriculum, exclusively designed and created by ABC Pathways International Kindergarten, is centered around a “student-centered” approach. They are designed with six to seven levels of varying abilities, ensuring that each student continuously grows within their highest learning capacity. We constantly seek out students’ strengths, inspiring them to reach their potential in every subjects and promoting their all-round development.
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
What sets us apart from other kindergartens is our steadfast commitment to the “Stress-Free Approach.” All our lessons are devoid of drills, tests, exams, and rote learning. Instead, we have regular assessments to ensure students are at the right level of learning. We focus on fun and engaging lesson activities while encouraging and appreciating students, fostering their learning interests and abilities in a stress-free environment. Additionally, ABC does not emphasize repetitive handwriting practice for students, as we believe that during the early learning stages, the focus should be on knowledge acquisition and development rather than excessive emphasis on writing exercises.
