🎯 Mission
"SJS Belcher Kindergarten is a Christian school, where all are committed to creating a loving, caring and joyful learning environment. Our aims to provide holistic care and a comprehensive education system that foster each child’s positive self-image, kindness, initiative, sense of responsibility and confidence."
📚 Approach & Strategies

| curriculum_planning | Based on our mission and goals, the curriculum reflects the school’s philosophy: Stimulate, Joy and Sustain. Stimulate: “Children’s wisdom is at their fingertips.” Our school encourages children to learn and apply their knowledge in everyday life. Joy: “Learn through playing without boundaries.” The children are empowered to make decisions, freely choosing their classrooms, teachers, companions, and activities, becoming the little leaders of the school. Sustain: “Step out of the campus and into community. ” Our school guides children to experience different cultures and creates a platform for their sustainable development and integration into the community. 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. |
