Is Tai Po Methodist Primary School good or not?
School Wind:
We emphasize the whole-person development of our students and establish a simple school ethos and a caring campus culture. Through religious and life education, we promote experiential activities such as classroom management, class groups, and hand-in-hand activities to mold students into grateful, caring and sociable children, and to cultivate in students a healthy body, mind and spirit, and self-disciplined and law-abiding habits of life. Through elective classes, leadership training and diversified activities, we develop students' interests and encourage them to strive for perfection and excellence.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Classes emphasize interaction, small group learning, independent learning and science and technology education, and students develop generic skills through observation and inquiry. We are committed to promoting reading, and we have both Chinese and English book classes. Three foreign teachers and the English teacher in the English subject enhance students' learning effectiveness in the classroom.

1. Uniformed teams (5 teams)
2. elective courses (e.g. First Aid) and subject extension courses (e.g. Intelligent Programming)
