Our kindergarten emphasizes “Biliterate (Chinese and English) and Trilingual abilities (Cantonese, Putonghua and English)”, and provides enriched interactive learning opportunities and enhances children’s interest in learning languages through classes, morning and afternoon assemblies and religious and festive events. Indoor and outdoor activities are organised for the childrens personal experience and exploration, and stimulates their creative thinking; through practice, confirmation and problem-solving to apply their knowledge in realistic scenarios for the inception of new thinking through the construction of new concepts, so the children will eventually build a solid foundation of ''learning how to 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.

With subject teaching at its backbone and complemented with a “project learning” curriculum, we aim to assist children to construct diversified knowledge, stimulate the children's creative thinking, develop the courage to explore the truth, determination to confront difficulties and problem-solving competence, and to respect God and love all mankind. Diversified modes of learning, such as role plays, dance and music activities, participation in events both within and outside the campus and so on. Children can deploy our multimedia and electronic information platform for learning.
