The curriculum includes introductory classes featuring pupils' songs and picture books, basic classes focused on phonics and extended reading, and advanced classes using original textbooks. The curriculum design is based on the Spanish language, with subject knowledge as the background, to stimulate pupil's potential language talents and help pupil build international cultural awareness.

Nursery

 

Pinyin

Our Pinyin activity invites pupils to explore the world of Pinyin through engaging, imaginative, and developmentally appropriate activities. Pupils will gradually build phonemic awareness, learn initials, finals and tones, and apply these skills in daily communication and early reading. Through a blend of songs, games, visuals and story-based tasks, pupils strengthen their pronunciation, blending skills and overall confidence in learning Chinese. The activity aims not only to develop foundational literacy abilities but also to nurture genuine interest—transforming Pinyin from simple memorisation into an enjoyable gateway to language comprehension and expression.

 

Creative Painting

Creative painting enhances pupils' imagination and creativity, allowing them to express themselves freely through their preferred themes or scenes. Through various artistic activities, it can effectively stimulate the creativity and imagination of nursery pupil, cultivate their artistic literacy and aesthetic ability and improve their overall quality eventually.

Learning with LEGO in the Early Years period can lay a solid foundation for pupils' future logical thinking. LEGO emphasises a creative play experience, helping to cultivate pupils' cooperation and communication skills. In addition, building with LEGO helps pupils develop manual dexterity and spatial imagination. With the teacher's guidance, learning to read LEGO blueprints can help pupils practice basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and become familiar with various geometric shapes. Installing LEGO models can help pupils establish a concept of order; when sorting LEGO parts, pupils can classify them by colour and shape, further cultivating their logical thinking skills.

STEAM Mini

Hands-on learning is in a pupil's nature: exploring and creating the world through play and invention. The curriculum uses an age-specific teaching approach, gradually nurturing pupils' creativity and developing course content and objectives aligned with their developmental level at each stage. It covers toy curriculum, handicraft curriculum, 3D printing technology enlightenment and exploration.

In addition to regular training, such as basic oral exercises and breath-control stability training, we will also incorporate other language-specialised training, including recitation, simulated hosting, column interviewing, fun dubbing and documentary learning.

 

Logical Thinking

The Logical Thinking course is grounded in concrete mathematical cognition and delivered through age-appropriate methods, including hands-on manipulatives and scenario-based games. It focuses on developing core competencies, including number sense, classification, sequencing and spatial reasoning. By integrating real-life contexts into the curriculum, abstract mathematical concepts are transformed into tangible, exploratory experiences—laying a solid foundation for future cognitive development.

Primary & Senior Schools

 

Chinese Traditional Painting

Chinese traditional painting generally refers to the style of painting on rice paper or silk using brushes, water, ink and pigments. According to art divisions, Chinese traditional painting can be divided into three major categories: figures, landscapes, and flowers and birds. Learning traditional Chinese painting can cultivate one's sentiments, broaden one's mind and help pupils experience the unique charm of traditional Chinese poetry, calligraphy, painting and stamping. The teachers of the Chinese Painting course are renowned Chinese painting instructors with decades of experience and a strong reputation in the field. They also have extensive teaching experience and the teachers will provide pupils with step-by-step instructions.

Fencing

Fencing is a sport of courtesy and lightness, and each round is a comprehensive test of mental and physical strength. It enables one to exercise one's thinking, improvise and overcome difficulties. Therefore, fencing is not only a meaningful fitness sport but also an excellent educational method for adapting to modern society. Through fencing practice, one can achieve self-confidence, self-control and self-awareness, which are the three elements necessary for a pupil to transform into a future leader.

 

Image

Warm-up activities are incorporated into enjoyable rolling and crawling exercises, helping to develop pupils’ agility and flexibility. Following the warm-up, the teacher introduces ground-based self-protection skills, including an explanation of basic submission techniques. Finally, pupils participate in simulated sparring, building a strong foundation in movement and physical control and gradually developing self-protection skills and greater self-confidence.
