Curriculum planning
|
Being child-centered and based on the love and bravery of Jesus-Christ-the-Lord, our school provides a balanced curriculum to develop the wholeness of student – morally, intellectually, physically, socially, aesthetically, spiritually. Our curriculum adopts inspiring themes and teaching activities to encourage children to learn from a diversified environment, so as to play to their potential and to extend their life experiences. We use creative teaching aids, decorations, games, outdoor visits, play groups and software so as to create a joyful learning platform for students to learn and grow, to be gracious and forgiving, to be independent and team-building.
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.
