Curriculum & Approach
To create a high quality all-round learning environment for children of the relevant age in the community. To provide quality professional education services to foster balanced development in academic and non-academic aspects so that children grow up healthily and happily in an enjoyable learning environment.
The curriculum is in line with the guide to the curriculum issued by the Education Bureau, taking into consideration children’s physical and psychological development and helping them fulfill their potential. 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.
Activity-based teaching is provided based on an integrated curriculum. Through games, stories, visits and group activities, children are stimulated to apply their gained life experiences while developing new areas of knowledge.
