Curriculum & Approach
With our Christian faith as the foundation of the entire education process, we will imitate our patron St. Jerome’s passion for the Holy Word and his spirit in spreading the Gospel. We will nurture our children’s love for the Lord and people, their enthusiasm towards life, their efforts in innovation and establishing a positive sense of value. Through a diversified education, we will ensure our children develop in a balanced manner spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, socially and aesthetically.
The curriculum is designed with reference to the Guide to Pre-primary Curriculum issued by the Education Bureau. It is child-centred curriculum which caters for student differences and teaches according to students’ ability. It emphasizes on learning through games and helps a child foster active learning attitude, develop self-care and problem-solving ability, develop social skills and foster team spirit. 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.
Thematic teaching,Experiential Learning,Project Approach, Dramatic Approach, corner activity, site visits, group activities and mixed-age activities are all that can help children learn voluntarily through personal experience and repeated explorations.
