We upholds PLK’s motto of “Love, Respect, Diligence and Integrity'', being child-centred, we aim to explore the potential in children, nurturing their spirit of self-learning, thinking, exploration, self-confidence and innovation in order to lay a good foundation for lifelong learning.

Our curriculum encompasses the whole-person development of the children, and strives to cultivate the thinking and problem-solving abilities of the children, to inspire their active learning attitudes, and to explore the potential of the young children. 2. Our school adopts the theme-based approach which is complemented by activities designed to break down boundaries of the areas of study and to connect what the children have learned in their daily life. 3. Our school emphasizes the cultivation of children's character and positive emotions. To promote positive education, our school focuses on the development of personal strengths and the establishment of positive emotions and a sense of happiness, to help children, parents and staff to move towards a fulfilled life. 4.
