Vision & Mission

We are dedicated to the all-round education based on the spirit of Christ, and actively follow the example of our patron St. James the Apostle in his spirit of absolute service to the Lord, his perseverance, and his pursuit of truth and courageous determination by staying committed to our mission to spread the Gospel, and train our fine next generation to be healthy, independent thinking, positive, proactive and friendly.

Curriculum planning

A child-oriented curriculum that incorporates comprehensive and balanced teaching elements. We aim to trigger children's learning motivation and curiosity through games, visits and experimental activities. Emphasis on moral education through “life education” and “''environmental and ecological education'' that teaches children to love others, respect for life , care for the environment and actively build positive values and outlook on life. 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.

Learning & teaching approach

We pursue an independent learning model in which a diversified learning area provides children the opportunity to plan and conduct their personal learning activities to inspire independent learning, develop generic skills and incorporate balanced spiritual, physical, intellectual, language, emotional, sociability and creativity development. Group learning and lively engaging instruction to enhance young children’s learning ability and effectiveness of the English and Putonghua. We use picture books to design experiential learning activities, nurturing children to develop good reading habits from an early age.
