The school is based on the love of Christ and allows students to grow in a loving environment. We deal with students' problems with understanding and acceptance so that students can develop honesty, justice and appreciation for others through positive experiences.<\/p>\n
The school is a through-train school, which provides a more flexible and coherent curriculum and reduces the pressure on students to move up to secondary school.
1. The school's through-train program develops students' basic biliteracy and trilingualism throughout the 12-year curriculum. It also focuses on the development of logical thinking, problem-solving and creativity, appreciation of Chinese and Western cultures and the arts, interest in and habit of sports, interpersonal communication and cooperation skills, as well as the ability for self-reflection and self-improvement.
2. The school aims to optimize classroom teaching and learning through different teaching strategies to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning in order to cater for the different learning needs of students and to improve their English language proficiency.
3. The school enhances the English proficiency of its students through the implementation of a policy of teaching in the context of the language.<\/p>\n
