THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IN CHINA FUK YAU KINDERGARTEN

By running the school, The Church of Christ in China aims to “Join hands to cultivate thriving youngsters with Christian love”. Meanwhile, in the spirit of “Preaching through schools”, we provide students with a pleasant learning experience as well as a quality learning environment.

With reference to Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide, we design student-oriented curriculum and arrange the curriculum based on school mission. We design six learning categories in the curriculum to systematically link up the key teaching points, activity targets and contents of various levels, so as to achieve “spiral” learning, promote students’ holistic development and meet their needs. 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.

We adopt “theme-based teaching” and start with stories to improve students’ learning interest and motivation. Meanwhile, we provide children with an opportunity to explore, practice, interact and visit outdoors as well as a variety of “dynamic” and “static” learning activities to let children learn from personal experience and life. We adopt the teaching philosophy of a ''Whole language approach''. We create a literacy-rich environment, through various learning activities and displays to cultivate students' interest. Moreover, every semester, the teachers will stimulate children's problem solving ability and develop their knowledge, skills and attitude in different categories by ''Project Approach''. To keep up with social progress, we actively introduce multimedia teaching and equip each classroom with a SmartBoard and a tablet computer to enhance teaching interaction. We also attach importance to fostering children’s character and good reading habit. Based on family-school collaboration, we implement “Parent-Child Reading Programme” and “Character Development Programme”.
