curriculum_planning The curriculum is designed with reference to the Guide to Pre-primary Curriculum issued by the Education Bureau. It is child-centred curriculum which caters for student differences and teaches according to students’ ability. It emphasizes on learning through games and helps a child foster active learning attitude, develop self-care and problem-solving ability, develop social skills and foster team spirit. 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.
