Our Curriculum

We value children’s active learning attitude and ability to self-explore. At this school, children can study in-depth through theme-based projects, outdoor experiential activities and play. We pride ourselves on broadening children’s horizons and enriching their learning experience by applying the life-wide learning strategy and making good use of community resources. We also acknowledge the importance of a hands-on learning experience and allowing free exploration in a free-play environment. The ‘Plan-Work-Review’ approach helps children develop the ability to introspect and self-study during their free-play session.

1. Chinese Subject
   Helping children to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, we create a rich whole-language learning environment for children. Furthermore, we attach great importance to children’s thinking skills and communication skills. Thus, our teachers ask high-order thinking questions, arrange group discussions and presentations. We apply ‘Effective Chinese Language Acquisition and Teaching’ strategy to let children understand the rules of Chinese characters through play, to enhance the Chinese characters recognition skills and to increase the number of the recognized characters. In order to enrich children’s Chinese writing skills, K2 and K3 children are encouraged to use sentences to write ‘My Diary’.
2. Mathematics Subject
   We use 5E Mathematics Teaching Strategy to help children construct mathematical concepts and develop mathematical thinking skills. The content interfaces with the key mathematics learning dimensions of primary school curriculum, which include number, data handling, shape and space, measuring and algebra.
3. Science
   Our school designs interesting scientific activities to induce children’s curiosity and motivate them to learn. Children can obtain a good understanding of the different branches of science through observation, formulating hypotheses, making predictions and carrying out experiments. All of this helps them develop the necessary skills to study STEM in the future.
4. Music
   We apply Carl Orff Music teaching strategy to increase children’s interest in and ability of music through integrating music, dance, drama, literature and art activities.
5. English Subject
   English Diversity Activities: At all levels, we have English specialist teachers who communicate with students exclusively in English, allowing students to immerse themselves in authentic language contexts and improve their English communication skills. Through daily English group learning activities, students are guided to master the pronunciation of the 26 English letters and the letter sounds (phonics) as well as learn blending techniques to enhance their spelling skills. We also implement the Read-aloud Programme called “I Can Read,” where students read 10 designated English storybooks each year (Oxford Story Tree level 1-3), providing them with a rich English learning experience.

   Furthermore, we have introduced the “Kid’s Box” English curriculum published by Cambridge University Press, which comprehensively enhances students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English.

6. Visual Arts
   Children can learn to use different approaches to express their thoughts and ideas, as well as develop their creativity and aesthetics skills through art appreciation and creative art activities.
7. Physical Education
   Our Physical Education curriculum is designed with comprehensive physical and fitness-based activities to help develop children’s body coordination, muscular endurance, balance, agility and more. Children partake in skill training activities with integrated team building elements, which allows them to develop important cooperation skills and encourages them to further participate in sport activities.
