🎯 Mission
"Following the spirit of Christ and the revelations of Gospel, we are committed to educate children with love. In doing so, we seek to cultivate in children the spirit of serving others and loving others as you love yourself, and help them develop self-confidence, distinguish between right and wrong and live a brilliant life."
📚 Approach & Strategies
"We organize activities in a variety of teaching approaches, such as theme-based teaching, group teaching, project-based learning and activity approach. In order to let children get in touch with English from an early age, cultivate their interest in learning English, and guide children to master the experience of language learning from picture books, the kindergarten focuses on the implementation of Shared Reading English picture books that combine various themes, so that children can be exposed to English from an early age and cultivate their interest in English learning.With the focus on bi-literacy and tri-lingualism learning, we engage professional teachers to teach children Mandarin and English courses."
