🎯 Mission
Through Christian education, LA pledges to cultivate students' ethics and morality to act with integrity and honesty. They think, inquire, interact, reflect, strive and excel within and beyond our school-based international curriculum framework. As a school that values and celebrates respect for diversity, we are dedicated to fostering students' consciousness of Chinese culture, and equipping them with international-mindedness and holistic abilities for lifelong learning.
📚 Approach & Strategies
As an IB PYP World School, we incorporate local and global issues into the curriculum, asking students to look at six related, transdisciplinary themes and to consider the links between them. We also adopt an ICT infused approach in which the use of ICT is seamlessly integrated with the curriculum to strengthen the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
💛 SEN Support
Our school adopts a 3-tier support model whereby the Inclusive Learning Team works collaboratively with staff members as well as school-based therapists to cater for diverse learning needs, including academic, social-emotional and behavioural concerns. Teaching staff receive regular training to constantly enhance teaching strategies by providing early identification and interventions, such as individual or small group training.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
