Curriculum
The Kuk attaches great importance to child-centered education to accommodate the individual differences among its students. Children can learn at their own pace by selecting the learning activities according to their abilities and interests, which are conducted under teachers' guidance and self-directed learning alternatively or simultaneously. The teaching design is based on the entire school as a whole and is no longer limited to a single classroom; the learning-rich environment encourages children to explore and learn independently, so as to achieve comprehensive and balanced development.
The Kuk child care service adopts an integrated teaching method along with the thematic approach in pre-school education, with content covers six major Learning Areas, including language, early childhood mathematics, nature and living, arts and creativity, self and society, and physical fitness and health. Versatile extra-curricular activities are arranged for students to enrich real-life learning experience and widen their horizons.
With toys and games elements, children can practice different learning aspects such as language, mathematical concepts, science and technology, and logical thinking through the use of the teaching aids. From "learning by doing" and "learning through play", to consolidate their studies.
Peer interactions construct more opportunities for younger children to mimic the older students on problem solving and improves their learning efficiency. The scaffolding effect stimulates children's language development, and facilitate their social skills with mutual respect when getting along with others.
The school adopts "Space Approach" in teaching to cultivate children’s self-directed and self-motivated learning attitudes.
The classrooms are divided into 5 learning zones, including:
- Expressive Communication Zone
- Exploration Zone
