Curriculum

Curriculum Details

We arrange appropriate comprehensive activity curriculum according to the guidelines of the Education Bureau for curriculum development that feature use of games across all aspects of children-centred learning based on students’ interests and life experience. We enable children to experience in person so that they can learn happily, communicate skillfully, make hold innovations and dare to undertake responsibilities, develop their unique potentials and gain balanced and all-round development in “morality, intelligence, physical ability, sociability, aesthetic feeling and spirit”
