Speaking Kindergarten Section (IJSS & IKG)
An English-speaking section with reference to the best
international curriculum, including International Baccalaureate (IB)
and UK National Curriculum IJSS is aligned with the local school
system. Providing students with maximum flexibility in their
choices of future studies, this approach ensures the broadest
outlook whilst maintaining the focus of local syllabi, particularly in
Chinese Language and Mathematics. French and Japanese are
the language choices that contribute to the international flavour.
