Our Curriculum
The curriculum consists of compulsory
courses and electives.
Compulsory courses are designed to
help students build up a solid foundation of basic
knowledge and skills from a well-rounded perspective.
These courses fall into four categories: language
(Chinese and English); science (math, integrated
science, IT, physical geography); art and sports (P.E.,
fine arts); social science (social studies and social
geography).
Among these courses, English, social
science and G1&2 science are conducted by native
English-speaking teachers while math, P.E. music, art, 3rd-grade-above
science, G8&9 physics and G9 chemistry are taught by
experienced Chinese bilingual teachers.
Electives offer a spectrum of courses
based on students’ interest and their developmental
need. They are made up of three classifications:
extended courses on literature and subject matter areas,
skills such as musical instruments, handicrafts, English
choir and drama, and field trips of visits, cultural
tours and life experience.
