School Vision:
Our emphasis is on providing quality education for students from G1-G6
in a warm, secure atmosphere to cultivate
“self-disciplined, sociable, healthy and happy children
with diverse learning opportunities."

Enriching curriculum:

We have been serving as one of the national pioneer schools since 2018 to realize the vision and goals of the New Curriculum, issued by the Ministry of Education.

We strive to keep with the global trends of educational reforms

by focusing on the needs and experiences of students

and aiming at developing core competencies
which a modern citizen should possess.

In the Alternative Learning Periods, we have established school-based curriculum, “A Joint with Deep Learning.” By arousing children’s curiosity about the world they live in, the possibilities of deep and profound learning are activated.

- 1. Grade-based curriculum is designed to correspond to the vision of our school. Students are provided with hands-on activities, practical or virtual visits to the organizations and facilities from the neighborhood to the unknown. Students learn to be grateful and do not take things for granted, stay humble and enjoy discovering.
- 2. In Theme-based Learning (TBL), students become language users rather than language learners. Beginning with the enchanting environment of campus and family, students gradually expand their learning scope to the world, realizing the responsibility of being a global citizen. This trans-disciplinary course incorporates with computer and technology class, facilitating transfer of learning to solving real life challenges.
- 3. Bilingual courses. Grade 3 and 4 student study bilingually in art and music.
