curriculum_planning"We cover six learning areas in accordance with the Education Bureau’s ‘Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide’ (2017). We foster comprehensive and balanced child development through free play, picture book teaching and arts integration. Our objective is to develop skills and talents needed internationally and locally, focusing on Attitude, Active-learning, Artistic Sensibility, Advocacy and Adaptability. We emphasise biliteracy and trilingualism by providing English and Putonghua curricula, and we offer environmental education to encourage children to protect and cherish nature. 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."
