Kids-Centred
Our curriculum emphasizes children’s interests. It utilizes highly interactive lesson activities such as storybooks, role-playing, and singing games. Through these activities, teachers observe children’s needs and make immediate adjustments to the lesson. Besides fostering proficiency in both English and Chinese language, we also aim to enhance children’s motivation to learn languages.
Spirituality
Spiritual cultivation is an important part of a child’s holistic development. Values such as gratitude, respect, empathy, honesty, and kindness are indeed extensions of Christ’s love. Therefore, our curriculum is dedicated to providing a high-quality environment in which children can establish positive values from a young age and use them to overcome challenges and difficulties in their future.
Brain-Building
We understand that early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping children’s future learning and development. Therefore, our curriculum emphasizes the development of intellectual and cognitive abilities, with the goal of allowing children to experience the joy of learning-through-play while gradually fostering their self-learning capabilities. We encourage children to ask questions, challenge themselves, and learn and grow through practice. Through this approach, we expect children to embark on their growth with a positive and self-directed learning attitude and ability.

English Class
The Native English teacher teaches children phonics, vocabularies, kid songs, short sentences and stories in a lively and practical way. They nurture in children an interest in and an ability to use English. Apart from scheduled weekly classes, the teacher interacts with the children by participating in their free time and split-group time.
Putonghua Class
The Putonghua teacher splits children into small groups according to their abilities. By means of games, children in the same group interact and build confidence in speaking Putonghua. The teacher teaches daily-life words and phrases. Students learn from listening, speaking and reading.
Physical Fitness Class
By implementing systematic physical fitness classes that adapt to the course of children development, the instructor trains children’s physical fitness, bodily persistence, sense of balance, coordination, flexibility, as well as their independence, cooperation, self-confidence and attentiveness.
Group Collaboration and Free Exploration
Our teaching mode is student-centered, emphasizing group collaboration and free exploration, and reflecting the core principles of immersive experiential learning and exploration-based learning. We firmly believe that the most effective way of learning is through real-world contexts, allowing children to explore the world freely, and learn new concepts and skills through hands-on experiences, while teachers observe and intervene when appropriate.
Group collaboration is a crucial part of our teaching approach. We encourage children to discuss and collaborate in group activities, thus fostering skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. At the same time, it also allows children to develop respect towards others, acceptance of differences, and willingness to cooperate.
In addition to group collaboration, the role of free exploration is also very important. In our curriculum, we provide various creative learning resources and activities, allowing children to freely explore, try, and innovate. We believe that only by letting children experience things firsthand can we arouse their curiosity, inspire their innovative thinking, and instill in them the perception that learning as fun.
In summary, willingness in learning and proactivity in exploration are keys to children’s growth. Therefore, by creating a learning environment that encourages cooperation and free exploration, we enable children to fully develop their potential in enjoyable experiences through immersive experiential and exploration-based learning.
We integrate both progressive and summative evaluation methods to assess children’s learning experiences. Teachers perform ongoing observations and documentation of children’s daily behaviors, and assess the children according to curriculum assessment outlines, children’s responses and projects. They also incorporate children’s self-evaluation and parents’ feedback as they assess children’s all-rounded learning experience. Teachers compile and analyze the assessment, and have parents know well of children’s development progress in all areas through one-on-one discussions, parent-teacher meetings, and detailed progress reports.
