🎯 Mission
"Our mission is ‘respect every child, nurture a loving heart, develop the potential and cultivate the mind’. To achieve these goals, School Management Committee provides a warm and stimulating learning environment staffed with professional teachers who love children and are passionate about education. Our teachers will implement the quality curriculum to help the children develop comprehensively with solid foundation and stimulate children’s learning potential in order to prepare for the challenges of the future world."
📚 Approach & Strategies
"Through “theme based” and “inquiry based” activities, students learn in small groups. Through interacting with caring teachers, students develop their linguistic, music, art and motor skills. Our “Free choice Learning Corners” and “Free Play Areas” give children ownership of their learning experience. It’s a way for children to expand on what they are learning and explore their own interests. Supporting young children’s autonomy has been found to have far-reaching positive effects on the child’s development, including benefits to executive function, mastery-related behaviours and general socialisation."

| curriculum_planning | Our developmentally appropriate curriculum nurtures a loving heart, cultivates the mind, develops potentials and promotes creativity. Through joyful learning, specially designed curriculum in linguistic, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), art, music and physical activities, students are confidence and proactive learners; ready for both local and international primary schools. In compliance with EdB’s Pre-primary school’s curriculum guideline (2017), our students will not be engaged in any writing activities in K1. Nor do we give excessive homework and repetitious exercises to our students. 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. |
