🎯 Mission
The goal of our school is to cultivate values and morals in students according to the teachings of Buddhism and to shape decent manners and appearance among students which enable them to contribute positively to society. Besides teaching students' basic academic knowledge, we will also help them build up a solid moral foundation as well as broaden their horizons through the teaching of Buddhism.
📚 Approach & Strategies
The school emphasizes the holistic development of students and focuses on student-centered learning strategies, allowing students to explore knowledge in an interactive environment. We organize various outdoor learning activities and field trips to broaden their learning experiences in different contexts. Each year, we host overseas learning exchange programs to enhance learning experiences further. In addition, the school actively develops school-based interdisciplinary curriculum. This approach cultivates students' knowledge in various subjects, as well as in moral education, civic education, reading, project-based learning, and STEAM education.
💛 SEN Support
Our Student Support Team includes Special Education Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs Support Teachers, a school-based educational psychologist, a social worker and a full-time school-based speech therapist and teachers who have completed SEN courses. In addition to providing students with special educational needs with intensive individual/group training, we work with external professionals to solicit cross-sector cooperation. In terms of learning, we conduct lessons in small class teaching modes and provide teaching assistants to classes in need. We also arrange assignment/examination accommodation for the students.
