Curriculum & Approach
School Motto 'Be Faithful, Diligent and Stay Simple; Love God and One Another'. We aim to foster the balanced and holistic development of young children in social, intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual and aesthetic aspects, as well as to nurture our children full of Loving, initiative Learning and with Leading potential.
Curriculum will be planned in regard to the interest, physical and psychological development of children. The principle of ‘child-oriented’ is adopted and various learning domains, including Language, Self and Society, Early Mathematics and Science, Physical Fitness and Health, Art are integrated. Religious and moral education, language education and the development of creative thinking are emphasized. 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.
Individual, group and interactive team activities are organized. Integrated Curriculum and Whole Language Learning Approach are adopted. Children are encouraged to re-write stories and create children rhymes which has laid down their good foundation of language. The ‘Enquiry, Expression, Exploration and Experience’ approach is adopted to encourage self-exploration, questioning and answer seeking so new knowledge is experienced and built up during the process. Shared Reading Approach and Phonemic Awareness are also adopted which has strengthened the children’s English ability, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. In addition, the implementation of Project Learning Approach and Situational Learning has nurtured the spontaneous learning and problem solving skills of children. Their creative thinking are also fostered.
