Our Principles and Practices

  • We believe that the core purpose of education is character formation, and it is the most important shared responsibility of the school and home.
  • We believe that each child is unique, with innate talents and gifts that should be nurtured to the fullest potential.
  • We believe that quality student-teacher relationships are at the heart of meaningful engagement, leading to highly effective learning and teaching.
  • We believe that Learning Communities best enable students and teachers to creatively and holistically explore different fields of knowledge, fostering individual and collaborative learning skills that are critical for the 21st Century.
  • We believe in equipping our graduates with a deep respect for and understanding of world cultures, mastery of Chinese and English, plus proficiency in other modern languages, as well as a strong commitment to meeting challenges of their generation.
