| language_policy | The school's policy on the medium of instruction (MOI) is formulated on the basis of students' abilities, needs and learning effectiveness. In response to this, our teaching staff has completed relevant professional training courses aimed at strengthening language and learning across the curriculum.

English is adopted to be the MOI in Mathematics, Science (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics) in some classes to increase students' language exposure and opportunity to use English, thus enhancing the language learning environment and boosting students' confidence. In the senior secondary curriculum, more subjects are taught in English, thus enabling students to choose the MOI that suits them most. The school attaches great importance to training students to be bi-literate and tri-lingual. Part of the English classes of all forms are run in small groups, with the assistance of the Native-speaking English Teacher. In the senior secondary classes, grouping according to abilities and reduction in class size have been adopted to improve the quality of teaching and learning of both English and Chinese languages.
