The programmes offered this semester are mainly divided into three categories: programmes for all age groups, Nursery pupils, and primary and senior schools' pupils.
Programmes for All Age Groups
In Musical Centre Stage, pupils will participate in recordings and performances at the end of the semester.
Due to the extensive length, difficulty and complexity of the original scripts, the teacher has condensed and adapted them, as well as added secondary creative elements to ensure that they are suitable for young actors to perform. The teacher will assign roles, lines and musical pieces based on each pupil's individual abilities and learning progress.
In this semester, we will perform:
In the karate course, pupils will learn different fighting stances to consolidate their core strength. With the foundation of stable stances, pupils will further learn attacking techniques, kicking techniques and some simple combinations of movements. Learning various types of footwork switching and movement, target aiming, free hand grouping, etc., pupils can master basic self-defence skills and strengthen their bodies. Through continuous study, pupils mastered their karate skills and successfully passed the belt promotion assessment in the previous semester.
Golf is an outdoor ball sport. The golf course is taught by a professional team of certified teachers. In the course, pupils will learn the basic skills and rules of golf, as well as the culture and etiquette of golf. In addition to normal classes, the golf course also offers unique private lessons.
The course content is specially designed for young pupils. A multi-staged teaching system centring on young pupils has been developed according to the psychological characteristics of pupils of different ages and their acceptance of language learning. The curriculum includes introductory classes with pupils' songs and picture books, basic classes based on phonics and extended reading, and advanced classes based on original textbooks. The curriculum design is based on the Spanish language, with subject knowledge as the background, to stimulate pupils' potential language talents and help pupils build international cultural awareness.
Spanish courses will be divided into different classes to meet the needs of pupils. Many pupils have progressed from primary courses to advanced courses after several semesters of study and have gradually become proficient in the language.
Original textbook "Lola y Leo" (three books)
*"Lola y Leo" is a series of activity-based foreign language textbooks. Pupils follow the teacher to sing, draw, discuss, listen, speak and role-play, learning Spanish through a series of activities that stimulate their interest.
In addition to the courses mentioned above, the programme also includes a variety of sports activities such as basketball and football, further supporting pupils’ physical development and teamwork skills.
Nursery
The Creative painting course encourages pupils to express themselves through activities such as colouring, cutting and collaging. Creative painting helps enhance pupils' imagination and creativity, allowing them to create freely based on their preferred themes or scenes. Through various artistic activities, it can effectively stimulate the creativity and imagination of nursery pupils, cultivate their artistic literacy and aesthetic ability, and eventually improve their overall quality.
Comprehensive and balanced sports training is crucial to pupils in the Early Years period. Scientific sports training can increase pupils' interest and enthusiasm in sports, thus helping them to develop life-long habits. In this programme, pupils will try BOSU ball training, battling ropes training, interval aerobic training, balance and coordination training, strength development, stretching and joint flexibility training.
Learning with LEGO in the Early Years period can lay a solid foundation for pupils' future logical thinking. LEGO emphasises creative play experience, which helps to cultivate pupils' cooperation and communication skills. In addition, the process of building with LEGO also helps pupils develop good manual dexterity and spatial imagination skills. With the guidance of the teacher, learning to read LEGO blueprints can help pupils learn basic math expressions (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) as well as become familiar with various geometric shapes. Assembling 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.
As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese Kungfu is a way to understand the essence and heritage of Chinese culture, to pass on Chinese culture and to enhance cultural confidence. Through the practice of Chinese Kungfu, all parts of the body are exercised, especially the cardiopulmonary function and body coordination. In addition, Chinese Kungfu develops the quality of one's will. The difficulties and challenges that need to be overcome during practice make people stronger, braver, more confident and more self-disciplined.
Trying hands-on is a pupil's nature, exploring and creating the world through playing and inventing. The curriculum adopts an age-specific teaching method, nurturing pupils' creativity gradually, and developing course content and objectives based on their development level at each stage. It covers toy curriculum, handicraft curriculum, 3D printing technology enlightenment and exploration.
Speech and Eloquence is a language-specialised course. The basic objective of this course is to strengthen language foundation and correct pronunciation. In addition to regular training such as basic oral exercises and stability training of breath control, we will also incorporate other language-specialised training such as recitation, simulated hosting, column interviewing, fun dubbing and documentary learning.
The Logical Thinking course is grounded in concrete mathematical cognition and delivered through age-appropriate methods such as hands-on manipulatives and scenario-based games. It focuses on developing core competencies, including number sense, classification and 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 generally refers to the style of painting on rice paper or silk products with 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 Chinese traditional painting can cultivate one's sentiments, broaden one's mind and make pupils experience the unique charm of traditional Chinese poetry, calligraphy, painting and stamping. The teachers of the Chinese Painting course are all famous Chinese Painting teachers who have decades of experience in painting and have a high reputation in society. They also have rich experience in teaching, and the teachers will provide pupils with step-by-step instructions.

Also, pupils will improve their skills in composition and layout, modelling, and colour analysis in the painting exercise.

To better meet the learning needs, we have established a professional English language course focused on IELTS and TOEFL preparation. Our course aims to help pupils achieve excellent results in these exams. We offer four separate classes: listening, speaking, reading and writing, providing comprehensive guidance and training for each aspect of the exams. Our instructors have extensive teaching experience and possess excellent teaching skills. Throughout the course, pupils will be able to significantly enhance their English abilities, master exam strategies and techniques, and ultimately perform excellently in their exams.
Wei qi is a good way to cultivate one's character. In the game, players need to maintain civility and politeness, not being proud of victory or discouraged by defeat, which helps cultivate their perseverance and tenacity. People who frequently play Wei qi usually possess the calmness to remain unflappable in the face of danger, the virtues of humility and caution, as well as a civilised and elegant demeanour. Additionally, playing requires concentration and a calm mind, which also helps cultivate one's moral ideas.
