🎯 Mission
"To act benevolently and to teach benevolence" is the guiding principle of our educational service. We do not only put an emphasis on language skills and subject knowledge but also put much effort in moral education which help our students become a better person and build up a sense of responsibility towards the community. Apart from academic subjects, team building, communication skills, attitude towards life and moral education are also of vital importance.
📚 Approach & Strategies
1. School-based curriculum for different subjects 2. Assessment for learning 3. Self-directed learning 4. Small-class learning environment 5. Collaborative learning 6. E-learning 7. Taking care of learner diversity 8. Tailor-made school-based curriculum (VASK Primary One Bridging Course, STEAM Education, Astronomical Observatory, LBD Programme, Gifted Learning Enhancement Programme, Primary One Science Field Trip, Project Learning, Information Literacy and Cross-Curricular Reading)
💛 SEN Support
We adopt the "Whole School Approach" to support students with special educational needs. We provide SEN students with levelled teaching and learning materials, moderated assessment papers and special groups to provide training on areas such as speech, social skills as well as emotional skills etc.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Life-wide learning (LWL) has all along been a widely adopted strategy to enable students to gain a variety of learning experiences. LWL takes place in the learning and teaching of each Key Learning Area as well as cross-curricular studies. It is effectively carried out through various kinds of experiential learning activities to nurture students' whole-person development and their lifelong learning capabilities. For instance, study tours, cross-curricular theme-based studies, co-curricular activities, e-learning, educational visits and different kinds of programmes developed according to students' characteristics (including gifted development programmes).
