Whole-school Language Policy:
The school is adopting English as the medium of instruction in all subjects except Chinese Language, Chinese History, Putonghua, Liberal Studies, Life and Society, Tourism and Hospitality Studies, Library Lesson and Physical Education. The school is also taking measures in line with the "Bi-literate, Tri-lingual" Policy. Morning assemblies and ECA activities are conducted mainly in English or Putonghua. We include Putonghua in our senior secondary curriculum as one of the electives in Chinese Language.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
A holistic curriculum has been designed to promote all-round education. A school-based junior-form curriculum to nurture students' generic skills and study skills is implemented. Students have a variety of choices in subject selection. For Liberal Studies, students will be divided to study in smaller groups to facilitate teaching and learning. We arrange overseas study tours every year to different countries so as to widen students' horizons. As an EMI school, the school endeavors to build up an environment conducive to learning in English through a variety of activities including English Speaking Week etc. The school's curriculum runs in line with the EDB guidelines, and takes into account of the students' interest, abilities and the strengths of our staff.

1. Electives: 3X and 4X. Chinese Literature, Chinese History, Economics, Geography, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Information and Communication Technology, Business, Accounting & Financial Studies, Tourisum and Hospitality Studies, Music, Japanese

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
A balanced curriculum with respect to different KLAs, integrating the Four Key Tasks of curriculum reform, has been implemented. 1. Moral, Civic and National Education : Our school puts great emphasis on positive education. Cultivating positive values and attitudes(e.g. ‘Care for Others’, ‘law-abidingness’)is the focus of all forms. Kap Yan Whole Person Development Award Scheme helps S.1 to S.6 students set higher goals, extend their limits and develop positive attitude towards life. Sense of accomplishment, positive emotions and concepts of leading a healthy life are cultivated and enhanced through cross-curricular activities and other learning experiences. 2. Reading to Learn: School creates a favourable reading environment and atmosphere via Morning Reading Session for whole school, Library Reading Scheme, ERS scheme and subject-based reading and other reading-related activities, such as book fair, teachers’ book recommendation. Our library collaborates with subjects to design theme-based reading. Various reading materials including library books and online materials to support and promote learning. 3. S.1 to S.3 students have to complete a STEM and AI group project to equip students with the skills of inquiring and collaborating skills which are essential for future needs. 4.Self-directed learning (SDL): Our school implements “Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) scheme. S1 to S5 students are equipped to apply SDL strategies and study skills in learning such as note-taking, collaborating with peers, and managing the process and progress of their own learning.

Life Planning Education:
1. Our school aims at facilitating students to make rational decisions over academic and career choices in different developmental stages by providing them with career information, guidance and assistance. This helps students develop a sense of self-understanding about their own career and academic aspirations, increase their knowledge about opportunities in the environment, and develop positive attitudes towards work and learning. 2. A whole-school approach is adopted and life planning education elements are integrated in the school curriculum. Various subjects and departments make joint efforts to implement life planning education which is aligned with students’ developmental needs at different stages of growth. Programmes and strategies will be employed to prepare students to make informed and responsible choices on their learning, career goals and other aspects of life. Some of these programme highlights include Career Awareness & Exploration Programme, Subject Selection, Mock Release of HKDSE Results, Mock Interview, etc. 3. Professional development activities for teachers to deliver life planning education and career guidance service. Teachers of various levels involved will be briefed with information and skills required to support students in terms of career and life planning. Parent talks and seminars are jointly organized with our school's PTA.
