Curriculum & Approach
Children are fostered the spirit and attitude of self-directed learning, develop high-level thinking and skills, enhance interpersonal communication and self-care abilities. In the happy and explorative environment, they are guided to grow as individuals who love to learn.
A child-centred curriculum formulated in accordance with children’s needs in development in line with their life experiences and interest besides fostering the spirit 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.
The design-based approach is mainly adopted supported with high scope activities to let the children learn through games. Group and individual counselling are provided according to children’s background and needs.
