Curriculum planning
|
The school adopts the“Story Approach to Integrated Learning” as the main teaching strategy. The theory integrates stories, explorations and learning by providing a variety of learning content and activities connected to interesting stories. Children can acquire rich knowledge as well as enhancement in their affection and social skills, cognition, language and physical developments.
We also make good use of extended project learning activities to inspire multiple intelligences and creative thinking among children in a joyful and relaxed environment. We strive to instill children with good characters and values, i.e. joy, confidence, health and kindness. As we uphold the love of God, children learn to love and be loved. They will learn to love themselves, the community and nature.
Children plant in the rooftop “Life Garden” and learn to grow plants with organic fertilizer made from food waste and share organic food. They also learn to appreciate the beauty of nature and life while develop an attitude of cherishing.
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.
|
