Curriculum Details

Curriculum planning
|
|
The Montessori curriculum provides a child centred approach that promotes independence and a true love of learning. Each child’s unique spirit, sense of wonder and deep desire to learn is supported by a freedom to explore our prepared classroom environment under the guidance of an AMI qualified Montessori teacher.
Sai Kung Montessori provides a bilingual, English and Putonghua, curriculum.
|
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
The trained Montessori teacher acts to nurture and guide the children by modelling the use of the different learning materials. She also facilitates free movement within the classroom, promotes the free choice of activities and creates opportunities for the children to apply their newly acquired knowledge to the world around them.
In a Montessori classroom, learning takes place within a social environment. There is a three year age mix of children (ages 3-6) peacefully working alongside one another either collaboratively in small groups or individually. The curriculum is child directed, hands on and exploration based with activities that are purposeful and fun.
|
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
Each child has their own individual lesson plan and receives either individual or small group lessons. This allows the child to move through the curriculum at their own pace. When they show signs of mastery and readiness they move on to the next lesson. Constant observations of the child are made so a larger picture of their academic, physical, emotional and social development can be made.

School Characteristics

|
School vision and mission
|
|
Sai Kung Montessori strives to provide a learning environment that optimally meets the needs of each child during their most crucial years of development.
Children are set up for success by acquiring the skills necessary to triumphantly pursue their curiosity of the world around them. As the students independently master new skills and concepts they grow in confidence to overcome their next challenge and a true and life-long love of learning is born.
Our kindergarten environment also encompasses the natural world and the surrounding community. Through interactive experiences with nature and contribution to our community a sense of interconnectedness and global citizenship is fostered.
The Sai Kung Montessori student indulges a natural sense of curiosity, is empathetic to the needs of others, is a confident and creative problem solver and is a self-disciplined and self-motivated learner.
|
|
Support to students
|
|
Each child is supported by individual lesson plans and a freedom to explore the social and academic aspects of the classroom. The individual child’s pace of learning, ability and interests are respectfully followed so that their emotional, academic and physical needs are constantly met.
