| curriculum_planning | Our School curriculum is based on the Bible. The Education Bureau's ''Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide'' and the Development Appropriate Practice are the foundation of the school curriculum. With an integrated theme-based teaching model, children can, through the living and enjoyable explorative learning activities, acquire knowledge and skill and develop a positive attitude that enhances their multi-intelligence, unleashes their potential, and lays the foundation for future study. 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. |
