Our Vision: Our students will become creative, critical thinkers who are internationally minded lifelong learners. Our Mission: -We will provide a transdisciplinary, challenging learning environment in a happy, safe and caring school. -We will develop our students’ confidence and desire to inquire, in order to expand their knowledge, skills and understanding. -We will nurture individual interests, strengths and abilities. -We will foster an inclusive language atmosphere where English, Chinese and other mother-tongue languages are valued and respected.

The Early Years in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a curriculum framework for young learners aged 3 to 6 designed by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. The PYP aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

The school is authorised to implement the PYP, which is an international, transdisciplinary curriculum framework for young children. English is the medium of instruction at school. In our Early Years program, children explore their environment and learn about their world through play and through the relationships with peers, teachers, family and community members. Learning in the PYP is a holistic experience that integrates socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development. We offer Chinese lessons to students on a daily basis, teaching Mandarin with a focus on receptive and verbal language, gradually introducing traditional characters.
