Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Teaching at HKYKC is student-led. Through a student-centered learning and teaching model, we encourage students to learn independently, to develop different learning experiences, to actively construct knowledge and to develop their abilities. Based on students' willingness to choose subjects and their learning abilities, we organize classes and groups to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
The medium of instruction is English (except as a second language) and the curriculum is tailored to blend the local and international curricula. A blended curriculum is offered, with the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) as the local curriculum and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the London General Certificate of Education (UK GCE 'A' Level) as the international curriculum.
Upon promotion to Secondary 3, students may choose to study the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) at Secondary 4 to 6 or study and apply for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) at Secondary 4 and the United Kingdom General Certificate of Education (UK GCE A Level) at Secondary 5 and 6 to meet the different needs of their future university education.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school believes in the importance of "lifelong learning" and actively encourages its staff to participate in internal and external teacher training courses. In addition, we have a well-established and systematic professional training program for teachers, such as professional peer lesson observation and collaborative lesson planning, in which teachers continue to gain and improve their learning skills to enhance the quality of teaching.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The school is committed to providing students with special educational needs (SEN) with a wide range of support for their personal growth and learning. The school has an English Language Support Teacher, a team of SEN Support Teachers, an Educational Psychologist and a Resident Social Worker to cater for the needs of students in a holistic manner. The Student Support Team provides various kinds of support for students with SEN, including: class admission support, after-school group training, individualized learning plan (OR individualized learning), special examination arrangement, adapted teaching and assessment, as well as appropriate student counseling services, etc., so as to enable students to have diversified development and opportunities to explore their potentials.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The School provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn the Chinese language by arranging intensive Chinese teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning, small group learning, etc.) and organizing cultural integration activities. The School supports NCS students by providing appropriate Chinese language courses and cultural exchange programs within and outside Hong Kong, taking into account students' learning backgrounds, experiences and abilities.
