Curriculum Details
|
Curriculum type
|
Local
|
Curriculum planning
|
We offer international and bilingual curriculum-- Putonghua and English classes. We follow the EYFS curriculum. All of the learning encompasses three important elements -- knowledge, skills and manners. We nurture children to attain all-round development in the domains of ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and aesthetics, so as to lay a good foundation for them to pursue studies at local primary schools or international schools.
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
With teachers' guidance, children learn self-directed learning, independent thinking, self-discipline, coordinating with others, a considerate and moving heart, etc.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
We use continuous assessment with Early years foundation stage targets. Teachers analyse children's ability and performance objectively through observation and logging. In accordance with the curriculum and teaching design, teachers may also set assessment objectives and specific content to choose from, such as behaviour index, anecdotal records, brief extracts of conversations with the child, etc. Through daily observation, record and analysis, we assess children's learning and development situation in the kindergarten.
|
School Characteristics
|
School vision and mission
|
We strive to instill in our children a Worldly Perspective; we focus on nurturing the Creative Minds of our students; we ensure our children enjoy a Caring Environment as if they were at home; and we hope our graduates leave our school with a Happy Soul.
|
Support to students
|
Through activities for parent education and usual communication, we help parents understand their children's growth characteristics and needs, parents' duties, skills for dealing with their children, strategies for helping children learn and for assisting their growth, including handling issues like primary school adaptation and transition from kindergarten to primary school.

Other activities / communication with parents
|
The school encourages parents to participate in volunteer work to help the school carry out activities. It is helpful for parents to develop a sense of belonging towards the school. Activities that help parents to understand our curriculum: parent-child reading, material collection, production of sculptures and paintings, etc. These activities not only help parents set reasonable expectations for their children, but also enhance parent-child relationship, make learning become more coherent, interesting and effective. The once-a-term teacher-parent meeting week strengthens the parent-child communication and relationship. We organize various parent-child activities, such as parent-child outings, parent-child Christmas Carnival, new students' parent meetings, parent meeting for curriculum introduction, parent volunteers, parent-child sports day, charity walk, open day, etc.
