| curriculum_planning | Our school focuses on the 4C curriculum, focusing on cultivating students' creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication skills. This curriculum emphasizes students' active participation and independent learning and is different from the traditional knowledge transfer model, paying more attention to students' ability development and application. 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. |
| assessment_of_children_learning_experiences | Once a theme is completed for a class, the teacher records children's learning progress and creates a personal portfolio for each child with details from continuous observation and appraisals collected from parents. Students' learning portfolios are distributed at the parents' meeting at the end of each semester until graduation. |
