Our school uses English as MOI for all classes and all subjects other than Chinese Language, Chinese Literature, Chinese History and Putonghua. Meanwhile, we train our students to be biliterate and trilingual by providing them with a learning environment that is conducive to the learning of languages.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We aim at nurturing students' all-round development. We stress the importance of language proficiency and self learning skills. Apart from the formal curriculum, ample opportunities are provided for students to learn beyond the classrooms. Various kinds of activities including visits, study, trips and sharing sessions are organised to enrich students' learning experiences. These activities provide the moral and civic education that they need for life-wide learning.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. School-based curricula have been developed in S1-2 Chinese, English, Mathematics, Life and Society and STEM & IT to equip students with subject-specific learning skills and smoothen their transition from primary school level to junior secondary level.
2. Curriculum highlights: The curriculum of our school is tailor-made to suit the needs and interests of our students. In addition to the school-based curriculum in various academic subjects, we have also designed special programmes to enhance our students' learning and boost their confidence. Furthermore, school-based gifted programmes in different subjects are organised to enable academically gifted students to develop their potentials.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Moral and civic education is integrated into academic subjects and learning activities to nurture positive values, namely 'care', 'diligence' and 'gratitude'.

2. We have a number of activities to help students cultivate their reading habits, acquire reading skills and enrich knowledge for life-wide learning and to be all-round persons.
3. Elements of project learning have been infused in different subjects to enable students to view issues from multiple perspectives, to collect and analyse data, and to share their learning products.
4. To raise efficiency and effectiveness in learning and teaching, teachers use IT to assist teaching and learning. Multi-media is employed to explain abstract concepts and create scenarios outside classrooms. Students are also encouraged to use the internet and intranet for researching and sharing with peers and teachers.

Elements of life planning have been infused into the curriculum of Life and Society at junior levels. Students are also given the opportunity to interview our alumni who are working in different professions.
