Curriculum & Approach
We foster good character and morality in children based on the principle and love of Jesus Christ.
Learn in play Play in learn . Development of language ability and moral education are the core of the curriculum. The scope of curriculum includes “Physical Fitness and Health”, “Language”, “Early Childhood Mathematics”, “Nature and Living”, “Self and Society” and “Arts and Creativity”.Children’s needs in different stages of development are catered for. 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.
We adopt the thematic approach which is supported by explorative learning. Children are trained to develop an active learning attitude, well-organized and confident expression skills, discussions with peers and time management for individual learning through site visits, exploration, verification, friendly visits, uniformed teams, fellowship ,physical and art activities held every Wednesday. A rich language environment is created through Putonghua and English teachers for children to practice their bi-literate and trilingual abilities.
