ENGLISH

Core Values & Objectives

Mission

Here at All Saints’, we believe that learning a new language is not just for passing exams, but also for the acquisition of a new life skill that can be used and enjoyed both inside and outside school. Therefore, it is our top priority to ensure that our students are provided with the most suitable training that equips them to become lifelong learners.

Catering for Diversity

We are fully aware that our students learn in different ways and at different speeds. In order to accommodate these diverse needs, our classes are streamed accordingly, so that each student is given the chance to flourish in an ideal learning environment. After-school and elite classes also provide additional support. In addition, our classes for newly-arrived children (NAC) also serve to boost the English competence of students who are new to Hong Kong, and to help them grow more accustomed to the city.

Keeping it Fun

It is also our belief that language learning should be an enjoyable journey. With that in mind, we have sought to provide a wide range of activities (including games, e-learning, performing arts, reading, public speaking, and English Society), which have been successful in boosting our students’ interest and confidence in the English language, as well as exposing them to a rich variety of cultures.
