Whole-school Language Policy:
In order to raise the Putonghua and Chinese abilities of our students, our teachers instruct in class using Putonghua during the Chinese speaking lessons (S.1). Our secondary section uses English as a medium of instruction, except for the subjects of Chinese Language, Chinese History and Chinese Literature.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Most of the illustrations are vivid and interesting and students are always challenged by questions from the teachers. Some teachers phrase their questions very nicely that, students can be channeled into the critical thinking mode. Most teachers can engage students by interactive activities, including group discussion, presentations, debating, whole-class discussion and role-playing.
Our curriculum has 5 special features, including: (i) developing English competencies; (ii) pioneering gifted education; (iii) offering internationalized small class teaching; (iv) nurturing multiple intelligences and (v) emphasizing creative teaching and joy in learning.
