Curriculum & Approach
Objectives: To provide quality holistic education and child care services so as to lay good foundation for children; to provide opportunities for creative expression so children release their potentials; to emphasize home-school collaboration. Partnership is formed with families for attainment of good teaching and learning outcomes; to promote child education strategies and methods.
Centred on children, we implement comprehensive curriculum and train independent learning ability to help develop a good learning attitude and character. 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.
1. Project Approach – To stimulate children to explore voluntarily and build up knowledge through the process of observation, discussion and exploration. 2. Montessori Education – Enhance sensory acuity in young children, establish self-care skills and a sense of order, cultivate independence and self-management abilities, and develop logical thinking and concentration. 3. Fun with English – Focus on stimulating interest in learning English, cultivate listening and speaking skills, and help children master phonics techniques for English words. 4. Concerning individual child’s needs and development, we foster positive and optimistic values through manifesting the Love of Jesus Christ. 5. Inheriting Chinese Culture-By understanding Chinese festival customs, appreciating and experiencing various forms of traditional art and together with participating in related project-based learning activities, we aim to cultivate young children’s interest in Chinese culture and foster their sense of national identity.
