Our school follows the curriculum of ‘A Biblical Foundation for Early Childhood Education’ developed by the Hawaii University of Nationalities, and the ‘Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide’ (2017) to design and plan our curriculum. Using the following four teaching approaches to stimulate children's fine motor skills, early literacy and mathematics, self-care ability and self-management skills, to cultivate their confidence and motivation in learning. As well as, to induce the creativity and problem-solving skills of children; to develop their comprehension skills, positive value and the whole person development.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities

Sensory teaching
Our school advocates a natural and harmonious atmosphere for students to learn under a joyful environment. Through manipulating different learning aids (including Montessori), to concertize abstract concepts through play.
Reading aloud
Children develop key understanding through the reading process and the relationship between printed word and meaning. It is the foundation of children’s literacy development, which also gives children the idea that the print tells a story or the message which is conveyed.
Good characters building
Teachers will aim a good character, which is from the fruit of Spirit in Bible, to teach children in each theme. Children practice and learn the good character at school or home through different activities. To enhance their good behaviors to care about the people and events around them.
High Scope Approach
