🎯 Mission
By emphasizing Buddhist education and diverse curricula, we aim to nurture children by enhancing self-learning abilities and developing talents in moral judgment, intellect, social skills, aesthetics, and spirituality.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Focusing on student-centered learning, we use diverse strategies, including thinking tools and pre-lesson activities, to promote "learning by doing." We incorporate inquiry experiments and peer learning, encouraging students to apply classroom knowledge to complete tasks and reflect on their experiences and insights.
💛 SEN Support
Student guidance personnel, school-based educational psychologists and speech therapists are stationed on campus regularly to identify and support students in need. Individual or group training is provided for students to enhance learning efficiency. Peer counseling programs are implemented to promote a caring and inclusive campus culture. Parents support groups are adopted to promote parent-child relationships and home-school communication.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Afternoon classes use an activity-based learning format: Mondays and Tuesdays feature multiple intelligence classes, Thursdays focus on integrated subjects, and Fridays are for growth classes. Activities include interdisciplinary learning, physical education, English musicals, STEAM experiments, and emerging sports like skateboarding. Each year, we hold a "Comprehensive Learning Week" with tiered activities, including field trips for P.1 and exchange programs for P.4 and P.6.
