Whole-school Language Policy:
All subjects are taught in English except Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua. To improve students' language competence, training in all four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing is emphasized. Students are also encouraged to participate in various language activities such as writing competitions, public speaking contests, debates and the Hong Kong School Speech Festival, so as to gain more opportunities to practise their language skills. All the morning assemblies held at school are conducted in English. There are also regular sharing sessions and presentations in English and Putonghua by the students in the assemblies.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Enabling QC boys to become self-regulated life-long learners is strategically implemented for promotion of the development of independent thinking, the spirit of exploration and innovation, creativity and the enhancement life competencies among students using subject-based activities inside and outside classrooms. Through effective questioning and timely feedback, students’ learning progress can be monitored and high order thinking abilities can be systematically developed. The application of various e-Learning equipment, e-Learning platforms and training workshops can facilitate self-directed learning and build up students’ good learning skills. Moreover, students are encouraged to read extensively across various curricula and contexts to enhance their language proficiency and self-learning ability.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. A maximum of 4X can be chosen, depending on students’ ability.
2. Curriculum highlights: Cross-curricular projects are arranged for junior forms for systematic development of students’ generic skills. In order to enhance students’ language skills, split-class teaching is adopted for Chinese and English lessons so that students will have more opportunities to apply what they have learned in smaller classes. Striving to develop students' potential and fostering their creativity and higher order thinking skills, our school has developed a school-based gifted education curriculum in Mathematics. Moreover, junior form Integrated Science has incorporated into its curriculum the 'Creative Science' module, which aims to encourage students to investigate scientific phenomena and apply STEAM education to solve daily life problems. In addition, entrepreneurship experience is incorporated into the S.3 Life and Society curriculum, which aims to develop students’ entrepreneurial spirit and skills, including goal setting, creativity, problem solving skills, teamwork, communication, digital marketing and learning from mistakes.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Our school endeavours to facilitate students to acquire learner autonomy through E-learning and STEAM education. Apart from participating in local and overseas STEAM programmes, the school also collaborates with local universities to arrange STEAM activities for the students. Through the organization of seminars, leadership training camps and club activities, students are guided to understand the roles and responsibilities of leaders. In fact, many of our renowned alumni are frequently invited to share with students their experiences as leaders.

Life Planning Education:
The Career and Life Planning Team implements a 6-year career and life planning programmes. Through talks, workshops, visits, mock practices, mentorship programmes, job shadowing and internship programmes, etc. jointly organized with local and overseas universities, local companies, non-government organizations and Queen's College Old Boys' Association, our students are provided with ample opportunities to explore the knowledge, skills and attitude conducive to career and life planning.
