curriculum_planning"We are a children's learning community who are enthusiastic about nurturing children’s development in arts, sciences and languages. We aim to set high, but realistic, learning objectives for children, focusing on facilitating children's education in a global context."
learning_or_teaching_approach_and_activities"Our teaching is arranged according to 2 major objectives: 1) To broaden international perspectives: Since 2006, we have been videoconferencing with partners such as the University of Cambridge as well as connecting with children from Miami, Texas, London, Wales, Miami, etc. We have also helped children from developing countries, even adopting 7 children one year from Haiti and Ethiopia through a charity art exhibition. This year, St. Lorraine is taking things to a new level. First, we are partnering with famous HK street artist XEME to create an NFT in the metaverse to help people in Turkey. We have also invited primary schools in Hong Kong and the USA to take part. Second, we are planning to have a simulated Dinosaur Dig, whereby children will get to unearth a Tyrannosaurus skull as well as talk to a paleontologist (dinosaur hunter). 2) International academic standards benchmarks: Our key subjects are benchmarked against teaching levels from the UK and USA. We encourage our students to challenge themselves against academic standards such as the Cambridge English Starters and Movers Tests, the American SAT 10 Mathematics assessment, the National College of Music, London preparatory violin exam, etc."
assessment_of_children_learning_experiences"Internal assessments occur biannually in Jan and June. However, most of our children also partake in external international assessments like the Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition (SAT 10), Cambridge YLE Tests, Trinity College London GESE Exams and the GAPSK Kindergarten Putonghua Proficiency Test."
support_to_students"We provide tennis, golf and archery activities within the formal curriculum. In order to enhance creativity within learning, we also teach violin in our music lessons. As well as regular seminars and P.1 entrance workshops, etc, we provide learning software to help children to learn at home."
