Curriculum & Approach
On the foundation of the truths of gospel and the spirit of Christ’s love for children, we offer whole person education and care services that are of high-quality to our children. We always endeavor to nurture children’s development in spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic aspects, for the purpose of bringing up proper values as well as lifelong learning competencies.
The Curriculum is designed according to children’s physical and psychological development, interests and abilities, supported with appropriate integrated activities based on the guide to curriculum of the Education Bureau to promote balanced development in spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social, and artistic aspects. 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.
Integrated story-based teaching; project-based teaching; whole language teaching of the Chinese and English languages; multiple art, drama and games activities; parent-child activities and visits.
