Curriculum

Our school-based school curriculum requires our students to participate in discussion, interactive activities, co-operation, demonstration, etc. All these processes facilitate the construction of knowledge in our students, enhance their ability of communication with other people and inspire their thinking so that they can acquire suitable, real and meaningful learning experience. To achieve our goal of whole-person foundational development which comprises six dimensions which are spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic dimensions, we need the co-ordination of parents. To this end, we have been holding regular talks on parent education and meetings with parents, forming parents’ fellowship groups and arranging visits to students’ home to enable parents to grow continuously in their parenting skills. The harmonious and smooth co-operation of parents and school, accomplished by the active participation of parent volunteers in the organization of school activities and designing school curriculum, has helped students learn joyfully in a warm atmosphere.
