Theoretical Framework of Curriculum

The concrete experiences and exploration of materials and real objects; as well as, the interactions with teachers and peers construct the process and product of learning. The context fosters children confidence and creativity, and provides opportunities for all children to optimize their potentials.

Curriculum Strategy and Teaching Model

Crèche and Nursery Class

A sensory-based curriculum which provides children with a multi-sensory learning environment. Toddlers establish their nature of active learning, optimizing each child’s potentials and lay a solid foundation of a life-long love of learning.

Our kindergarten adopts an inquiry-based curriculum to engage children in the learning process of actively-constructing. Children question on their knowledge and experience of a topic, make predictions to their inquiries and solve the problems by hands-on experience and exploration. In the process of exploration, children solve problems gradually, redefine their logic of thinking and, thus, reconstruct a new learning experience.
