Curriculum & Approach
The curriculum adopts the heuristic activity teaching method. We integrate Christian love into our teaching, children gain development of morality, intelligence, physical ability, sociality, aesthetics and spirit in a happy and friendly environment.
Child-centredness, catering for the growth and developmental needs of children, providing sensory and interesting learning experiences and let children learn through play and strengthen the element of exploration. 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.
Through theme-based learning, project-based learning methods , teaching with picture book and different learning activities, we induce children's learning interests and strengthen exploration ability. Arrange outdoor activities according to the learning theme, such as visits, so that children can gain life experience and knowledge through personal exploration.
