Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We emphasize the development of Multiple Intelligences (MI) to nurture our students for the 21st century. Apart from moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development, we also foster students' spiritual development. With the introduction of Liberal Arts and the cultivation of 3-Literacy (English, Chinese and information technology), we believe that a balanced curriculum and a lifelong learning environment can motivate our students to strive for excellence and achieve their full potential. Highlights are listed below:
1. Our Academic Development Committee will evaluate and assess the school curriculum periodically to ensure its alignment with the school's major concerns, students' needs and educational trends.
2. In setting the school curriculum, both the curriculum framework suggested by EDB and the curriculum models of other countries have been considered. The curriculum aims at developing the skills of learning to learn, which in turn can reach the goal of lifelong learning.

They are: reading to learn, information technology for interactive learning, moral, civic and national education, and project learning. Moreover, the implementation of Liberal Arts is a measure to nurture positive values and good character of students, and also lays a solid foundation for learning Citizenship and Social Development.
