Curriculum planning
|
The curricular planning pays attention to the development of six key areas of education; the moral, intellectual, physical, social, creative and spiritual development. It is designed to comprehensively consider the interestingness and exploration of the teaching theme(s) and is adjusted according to the abilities, interests and experiences of students, so as to create dynamic and creative learning environments and resources that will equip students from a young age with the abilities to adapt in this fast-changing era, to keep improving and to prepare them in becoming a new generation of leaders.
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.
