• To strengthen students’ language proficiency and raise their interests in learning, our Kindergartens have introduced “Amazing Pen” as learning tools both in schools and at home. To better apply “Amazing Pen” in current kindergarten curriculum, recordings are prepared by native-speaking English teachers, native-speaking Putonghua teachers and local teachers.  The application of “Amazing Pen” aims at enhancing learning effectiveness through play and listening to teachers’ accents and correct pronunciations, as well as cultivating good virtues and positive values from learning content.

Their services included group training for children, talks for parents, workshops for teachers, etc., so as to enhance the healthy development of our students.
• All of our kindergarten teachers are qualified teaching professionals. They are caring, experienced and familiar with the teaching skills required for early childhood education. The staff to student ratio is no less than 1 to 11, ensuring that every student is provided with adequate attention from our teachers. Besides, additional native-speaking English teachers and native-speaking Putonghua teachers are employed to cultivate the language environment to support students’ mastery of biliteracy and trilingualism.
• We value the continuous professional development of teachers and thus provide them with training activities of multi-dimensions, including induction programmes for new recruits, management courses for senior teachers, leadership training for principals, etc. All kindergartens have implemented the “Peer Lesson Observation Scheme”, which includes inviting experts in early childhood education from universities to guide the whole process on-site.
