A Truly British Curriculum

The Prep School will offer a unique and intensive British curriculum based on the British National Curriculum and incorporates the local Lingnan culture. In the classroom, teachers adopt the thematic learning approach to teach five core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography. 
Each Class teacher is supported by teaching assistants, not only in classroom teaching but also in pastoral guidance. There are also subjects of Spanish, Chinese, Art, Music, Drama, Sports, and Computer Science delivered by specialist teachers to enhance the students’ learning opportunities.

Immersive English Learning and Individualised Support

In the Prep School, all lessons will be conducted in English (except Chinese and foreign language lessons). Small-size classes ensure that each teacher can gain a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges and design highly individual learning plans for them. Students will be able to take advantage from the plan and improve their English skills for future study.
Students will also benefit from the English Language Learning (ELL) Programme carefully designed by the Headteacher Mrs Jane Arden and with the support from the in-house English Language Acquisition team this helps develop their holistic language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. This allows them to fully engage in the school’s British Curriculum.
