Preschool

Preschool Programme

Children typically spend one year in nursery and three years in preschool but for some children preschool K1 is the first step without parents present. In this case you may like to help prepare your child for this by attending our playgroup or nursery to encourage your child to become more accustomed with the environment.

By K2 children are proactively prepared for international primary school interviews and primary one. They achieve this through learning to read and write as well as developing in the area of problem solving reasoning and numeracy. Children at this stage start to make rapid progress in second language acquisition and become more independent and are able to contribute to their own learning through inquiry.

In K3 Children will continue to move ahead with their language and mathematical development and other curriculum areas. Their inquiry and critical thinking skills grow exponentially consolidated in four years of learning and social development in preparation for either local or international primary school education.

Language Learning

Our teaching and learning environment uses the immersion style of acquiring English language. We acknowledge and respect Cantonese as the home language of Hong Kong. It has been suggested that proficiency in a child’s home language or ‘mother tongue’ is tied to greater success in subsequent languages learned. Therefore time is set aside each week for children to participate in home language learning. Read more

Assessment

The school provides competent ongoing assessment methods to track children’s progress from when they start school and regularly throughout their time at the school. The assessments will be undertaken by the class teacher and assistant involved in their learning. Information about the assessments will be shared at the teacher-parents-child conferences three times per year. Read more
