Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Emphasizing the development of biliteracy and trilingualism, the school arranges two expatriate teachers to teach English together with the original English teacher to enhance students' English proficiency. In addition, the school strives to create an English and Putonghua learning environment to enhance students' English and Putonghua listening and speaking skills. In terms of teaching, we utilize higher order questioning and cooperative learning skills to enhance students' learning effectiveness. At the same time, we emphasize the implementation of high-performance e-learning lessons to enhance teacher-student interactions, take care of learning diversity and improve classroom learning interest. In addition, through the cross-curricular reading and learning program, students learn through reading. Feedback is emphasized and students are encouraged to reflect on their learning through different modes of assessment. Learning exchange groups are organized to broaden students' horizons and knowledge and enrich their learning experiences.
Life-wide Learning:
Through different learning activities, such as STEM Learning and Exploration Day, School-based Reading Day, Chinese Day, English Day, Mathematics Day, Visual Arts Exhibition, Talent Show, Service Learning, etc., students can enrich their learning experience and cultivate their civic awareness and spirit of inquiry. The service teams include the Community Youth Corps, the Little Pioneers of Christ, the Traffic Safety Team, the Junior Police Call, the Red Cross, the Cub Scouts, the Little Girl Guides, and the Wendell Guides.
Course Tailoring and Adaptation Measures:
The school offers both pull-out classes and pull-out counseling to cater for the diversity of its students. The school also emphasizes on the accommodation of students with special learning needs in terms of homework and tests. There are also various after-school tutorial classes and bridging programs for primary and secondary students.

The school provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: after-school Chinese learning support; and inclusive campus activities. Provide basic Chinese language training for NCS students after school to enhance their Chinese language proficiency and support teachers for collaborative teaching.
