| curriculum_planning | ''Human-centered education'' is designed to create a balanced and appropriate school-based curriculum that gradually builds a solid foundation for children, enabling them to smoothly transition to elementary school courses. Specialized teaching allows children to learn two languages and three subjects through play. With the integration of environmental education, children learn new knowledge through observation, exploration, and problem-solving. Every day, during morning assembly, children are guided to learn praise, care, and gratitude through rhythmic exercises, poems, and prayers, embodying the principles of life education in truth, goodness, and beauty. We will follow the “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide” (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation. |
