Spiritual education is the core of the programs while thematic instruction forms the overall structure. The ''High Scope educational approach'' ensures the breadth of the programs and the emphasis on project-based learning achieves depth. Plays are the channels through which children learn. 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.

1. The school adopts the “plan-do-review” learning process of ''High Scope Approach''. Children are encouraged to experience, explore, create and learn by undergoing a multi-process journey. 2. It derives motivation from themes, thus leading to activities of project-based learning programs to create a learning atmosphere of “entering the classroom with a question, and leaving with a number of questions.” 3. Creative activities rich in language learning and inspire children’s interest in learning words. The “Please Listen to Me” Reading Scheme trains up children to recognize and read a lot of English and Chinese vocabulary; The “Free Writing Scheme” increases children’s positive attitude towards writing, so as to enhance their ability to use words and write short essays. 4. Native-speaking English teachers prepare school-based teaching materials from daily life scenarios to help children easily master the ability to listen, speak, read and spell. 5. The school adopts Orff Schulwerk in the music activities and makes use of various musical elements to effectively achieve balanced development of children’s imaginative capacity, ability of abstraction, spatial intelligence and emotional intelligence, so as to build a foundation for learning instruments in the future. 6. Children become the master of the “Free Play”, they have the rights to making choices, planning, creating and discovering. 7. The school infuses an artistic sense into everyday teaching and popularizes art education in daily activities. Children are guided innovatively to participate in learning activities with various artistic elements.
