Curriculum planning
|
Adopting Humanistic Education, we design our balanced and relevant curriculum that is complemented with teaching booklets of our own. The courses go from the easy to the more difficult so as to build a solid learning foundation for children accomplish smooth transition to primary school. Our specialist teaching enables children to learn English and Chinese, including Mandarin and Cantonese, while playing games. Children's general knowledge is strengthened through our multicultural teaching. Through daily asssembly in the morning, we guide children to learn about appreciation, caring kindness and gratitude from poems and prayers. We earnestly practise the truth, goodness and beauty of life education.
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.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
Through constructivism and exploration activities, we induce children's learning interest. After going through the processes of thinking, analyzing, problem-solving and proving, children advance their knowledge and broaden their thoughts. Every Friday is set as the Activity Day for children to learn through music activities, children learn to play African drumming from K1. It helps children to pick up music rhythm and enhance their ability to cooperate and concentrate. Further musical development is incorporated into higher kindergarten courses in order to cultivate temperament of equanimity and inspire imaginative minds in early years. Together with group studies, we establish children's confidence and their willingness to express their opinions. Children also benefit from various school-based extensive reading program and enjoy reading at home and school.

Support to students

|
Teachers establish good moral models for children from regular routine. We utilize the teaching time by alternating dynamic and static group and individualized learning activities. Teachers understand children's needs by daily observation and provide appropriate guidance. We communicate with parents frequently and support families in need with emotional counselling. We set new student adaptation periods to help children adapt to campus life. We arrange primary one life experience week for the K3 students to prepare for promotion to primary school. Extra-curricula activities such as football team, choir team and uniform group is available for students to join upon their interest
