Curriculum
Chinese
Based on the Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide prepared by the Curriculum Development Council, we have designed a “story-emergent literacy integrated syllabus”. Given children’s enthusiasm towards stories, we pick themed stories that match with children’s actual daily experiences. With a story a day, and relevant activities in listening, speaking, reading and writing, children are able to learn each language systematically, which helps raise their interest in learning and builds a strong foundation for their language proficiency.
English
- Nursery class (K1): 26 alphabets, vocabularies, nursery rhymes, oral and phonics.
- Lower (K2) and Upper classes (K3): vocabularies, sentence building, oral and phonics with English story books, oral books and phonics books.
Mathematics
- Nursery class (K1): Amount 1 to 10, concepts (e.g. height, amount), sorting, shapes, distinguishing similarities and differences, elementary statistics.
- Lower class (K2): Amount 11 to 20, revision on amount 1 to 10, comparison among concepts, sorting, shapes, distinguishing similarities and differences, statistics, counting.
- 高 班 (K3) ：唱數、1-20倒數、10以內的加法、10以內的減法、分類、統計、比較、時間、錢幣。
Teaching Methods
With a whole-language-based educational philosophy, we take storytelling and activities as approaches to ensure children could learn languages systematically, and thus build up a sound foundation for studying.
Storytelling
Given children’s enthusiasm towards stories and our whole language philosophy, we combine themed contents and storytelling. By reading themed stories to children while adopting a whole-language-based method of reading instruction, we conduct a series of language activities that foster their language proficiency.
Teaching through Activities
Through outings, explorations and themed activities, children could learn through 5 senses, primarily through the perceptual experience of touch.
Besides, we design activities and HighScope programmes in regard to specific themes. We hope to raise children’s confidence and their interest in learning, and thus unleashing their potential.
