Curriculum planning
|
We believe that every child is unique and full of unlimited potential. We strive to create a pleasant, open and diverse learning environment. We also provide a comprehensive, balanced and appropriate curriculum. Therefore, children can develop their unlimited potential and nurture talents with both morality and creativity for the society.
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
|
Children naturally enjoy listening to stories and playing games. Based on the 'child-centered' educational philosophy, the school adopts the 'Integrated Story + Game Learning' approach. The two elements are used together to effectively integrate the explicit and implicit curriculum. This encourages children to learn happily and promotes balanced development of children.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
The school uses an ongoing model of child assessment. Teachers collect examples of students’ performance through continuous quantitative and qualitative observation. Thus, an objective analysis is conducted to assess the developmental level and ability of children. Through home-school cooperation, we teach students according to their aptitude. We provide appropriate support to promote the all-round development of children.
