Whole-school Language Policy:
As an EMI school, not only are all lessons (excluding Chinese, Chinese History, Putonghua, Christian Ethics, Physical Education and Thinking Skills) are taught in English, most school events and activities including morning devotion sessions, announcements and promotions are mainly conducted in English also. In order to create an English-rich learning environment, we have a number of Native-speaking English teachers so that teachers and students can share through a language they are both familiar with and students’ exposure to English can also be increased. On the other hand, Putonghua is used to teach Chinese Language in some junior classes so as to cater for the needs of the students who have learnt Chinese in Putonghua in their primary schools.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
(1) Small Class Teaching – Each class consists of 28 students on average. Teacher-student and student-student interactions can be increased through low student-teacher ratio. (2) Self-directed Learning – Our school aims to promote self-directed learning among all forms and all subjects. Having prepared for their lessons, students are expected to participate in lessons proactively so as to improve their self-efficacy in learning. TTCA's Chinese department integrated MAPS Teaching Methodology with school-based pre-lesson enquiry to promote self-directed learning. (3) Pre-lesson collaborative Learning – We emphasize the importance of building knowledge and skills together by encouraging students to work closely with each other inside and outside classroom. A variety of strategies is practised to promote collaboration among students, so that students can master the objectives of each lesson and fully understand the knowledge taught. (4) E-learning – Information technology, including various online platforms, apps and tablets, has been widely used in the school to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. (5) Modular Curriculum – S.1 and S.2 students focus on fewer subjects per semester so that they can master the newly acquired knowledge and skills with more flexibility and relieve their stress from assignments and assessments. (6) Innovation and Technology Education - Thinking skills and STEM curriculum are tailor-made for junior form students. By cultivating their creativity and critical thinking, they are prepared for the future development in society.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. For senior secondary curriculum, there are over 100 combinations of elective subjects provided for students. To explore different pathways for students, IAL curriculum has been implemented for S.5-S.6 in parallel with the HKDSE curriculum.
2. Curriculum highlights: (1) International Advanced Levels (IAL) curriculum for S.5-S.6 students. The IAL curriculum is run in parallel to the HKDSE curriculum, allowing students to select the pathway most suited to their abilities and interests so that they can be better prepared for tertiary education. A maximum of 1/3 places are reserved for the IAL curriculum. The six electives are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Accounting and Psychology; (2) To cultivate the spirit of scientific enquiry and creative thinking, our STEM curriculum introduces programming and assembly of robots to our junior-form students; (3) Catering for learner diversity through enhancement classes; (4) Curriculum adaption with reference to 3-3-4 curriculum
School-based curriculums funded by the Quality Education Fund: Self-directed Learning in Chinese Language: Integration of Pre-lesson Enquiry and MAPS Teaching Methodology; STEM Education of Synthetic Biology, training students to join the iGEM competition; School-based Junior Thinking Skills Curriculum

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Moral, Civic and National Education: (1) Christian Ethics lessons for S.1-S.6 students. Discussions and analysis of social issues from different angles and upon biblical morality are in place. (2) Social issue and personal experience sharing by teachers and students at class period. (3) Besides embedding moral and civic education into different subjects, form-based class periods are also tailor-made for students with the aid of subsidies from the Quality Education Fund. // Reading-to-Learn: (1) With reading goals set for different months, the reading time everyday aims to foster students’ reading habits. (2) Elements of reading are emphasized in various subjects to allow more platforms for students to scaffold their knowledge. // Project-based Learning: Through projects, we aim to improve students' problem-solving skills and nourish students' interest in those subjects through research-intensive learning. // E-learning: (1) All students are equipped with Google accounts and are taught to utilize Google Classroom. Learning does not just take place in physical classrooms, but expands to virtual classrooms and everyday life. (2) Interactive teaching and learning is achieved through tablets and educational apps.
