JUNIOR SECONDARY CURRICULUM
Our junior academic foundation curriculum is built on three pillars: languages, sciences & humanities and mathematics & computer literacy.
The aim of our language education is to help students become bi-literate (English and Chinese) and trilingual (English, Cantonese and Putonghua). We emphasize the use of English as the medium of instruction and communication in school. All subjects are taught in English, except Chinese Language, History Studies and Putonghua. English lessons in Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 are conducted in small groups, each led by an individual English teacher. A wide range of co-curricular activities such as lunch time broadcast, dramas, competitions in reading, spelling, grammar and phonics are organized regularly to support students learning in an active learning environment. Putonghua is used to teach Chinese Language in selected classes to cater for students with different Putonghua abilities.
Our junior curricula in science & humanities focus on exploratory learning and critical thinking. They are designed to prepare students for the New Senior Secondary (NSS) curriculum and the HKDSE examination, as well as for their further studies locally or overseas thereafter. The curricula for our "4S" subjects (Contemporary Studies, History Studies, Integrated Science and Religious Studies & Ethics) provide the foundation for the students to tackle the new Liberal Studies (LS) subject in the NSS curriculum.
In mathematics & computer literacy, the formal curricula focus on training the students' logical reasoning. Effective grouping policy is implemented in Mathematics to cater for student diversity. The small class policy is also applied to Computer Literacy from Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 to facilitate learning of IT knowledge and skills through more hands-on activities.
