Curriculum & Approach
A people-oriented and children-centred curriculum which is based on the principle of glorifying God and edifying in humanity. We endeavour to promote development in spirituality, ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and aesthetics.
Our spiral theme-based curriculum is designed according to the basic principle of '' children’s development'' and ''children’s learning'' . It is in line with the interests and life experiences of children of relevant ages, taking visual art as entry point and integrating with religious education, character fostering, music and physical fitness, Chinese and English language, mathematics and science. The school-based curriculum helps children attain continuous and balanced development for life-long learning in the domains of spirituality, ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and aesthetics. 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.
Based on the concept of learning through play, the school-based themes of learning are conducted by group learning, simulated activities, project-approach, free choice activities, story-based scenario approach and abundant sensory stimulation learning activities, so that children gain knowledge, skills and develop good learning attitude through various learning strategies.
