Curriculum planning
Based on child development theories and researches, we determine the curriculum according to children’s physical and mental development needs and learning interests; and pay attention to children’s all-round and balanced development and uniqueness.
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
Our curricula feature theme-based teaching and project-based learning, and focus on children’s life experience and physical quality. Every day, we reserve time for news sharing. Apart from teaching activities, we also arrange visits, expert interviews, field trips, parent-child activities, etc. We emphasize children’s development in creative arts. In addition to literary and artistic activities every afternoon, we also hold children's creative art exhibitions and creative drama performances every year. We promote programme which includes diversified teaching strategies to meet the peculiarities of children and promote their holistic development. Additionally, we also develop our school-based mathematics curriculum, and also provide a variety of Chinese and English reading and play activities, so that children can learn Chinese and English in a meaningful language context.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
Daily on-going observation and assessment are made to keep track of children’s development in physical fitness and health, language, early childhood mathematics, nature and living, self and society, arts and creativity.
