CUHK FEDERATION OF ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS THOMAS CHEUNG KINDERGARTEN

Under the mission of the Chinese University of Hong Kong: “Expanding Knowledge and Following Ceremonies'', we strive to develop the confident, articulate, courageous, inquiring, contributing new generation who value moral character, love thinking, enjoy learning and have the basic level of Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism.

We offer a child-centered curriculum where children can learn in a systemic, progressive manner as they grow. They can build up their initiative and inquiry spirit from first-hand experience and outdoor activities. We also take care of the individual differences of students. Outdoor learning experience brings out the essence of child learning theories, ''Learning by Doing'' and ''Learning through Play”, helping children exploit their full personal potentials. 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.

Except theme-based teaching integrating activities, we adopt Project Approach to extend K1 to K3 children's learning experiences. Group learning through games, experiments, visits, etc., to improve children's autonomy and problem-solving ability and consolidate the subject knowledge. Our school joins the “STEAM” teaching element, through the teaching activity which unifies with the life situation and the actual hands-on work, the student obtains is can face the life challenge to have the ability and the attitude. Our school has introduced “Orff Music Program”, which can bring out various musical elements from stories and allow children to learn different musical knowledge by participating in interesting activities. Mandarin courses and Phonics curriculum provide much fun for children for diversified learning. We pursue Children's moral education curriculum of ''Positive Education'', instill the correct concept of moral education, promote the positive elements of personal development, and actively face the pressure and challenges in life, reach the whole person development.
