Curriculum Features
Inquiry-Based Learning
The school follows the Education Bureau curriculum guidelines using thematic teaching, with "Problem-Exploration-Experience" as its core learning theory. Through real objects, pictures, and environmental settings, combined with modern teaching equipment like interactive whiteboards, diverse activities are designed to nurture children's learning interests.
Teachers use open-ended questions to guide creative thinking, allowing children to develop problem-solving skills through discussion and interaction, learn independently, and reach their full potential.
Emphasis on Life Experiences
The school regularly organizes outdoor visits, community excursions, and field trips, enabling children to learn from real-life experiences while broadening their horizons.
Developmentally Appropriate Practice
Strictly following the Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide (2017), the school does not require nursery class children to write, nor does it assign mechanical copying or drill-based calculation exercises. This ensures children learn happily in an age-appropriate environment.
