Curriculum & Approach
Guided by Christian faith, students at St. Stephen’s Church Kindergarten and Nursery grow in the spirit of love, building an understanding of their morality as well as developing gross motor, emotional and social skills in a safe, friendly environment.
According to the curriculum guide of ''Hong Kong Bureau of Education'', the integrated curriculum is implemented by adopting real-life themes to help children to connect the learning content with their lives. Meanwhile, our English and Mandarin lessons are conducted by the native English speaking teacher and the native Mandarin speaking teacher respectively. 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.
St. Stephen’s Church Kindergarten fosters a student-centered approach to teaching and learning experiences using the HighScope approach and project-based activities. Students are encouraged to learn through exploration, observation, tailored lessons and draw on life experience, such as community events, birthday party, barbecue, hotpot activities, simulated Lunar New Year flower market, graduation ceremony and visiting to police station, supermarket, Sunshine Paradise etc. to develop self-care and problem solving skills.
