🎯 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."
