About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
The school is part of the Kiangsu-Chekiang & Shanghai Residents Association group of schools. It grew from the requests of parents, who sought an alternative to the education provision offered in the Hong Kong mainstream community. It exists because of the Association and as such it carries on their support for the classical Chinese educational virtues of advocating the development of a student’s moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic capabilities. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
The British National Curriculum is used as the school's core curriculum, and care has been taken to modify it wherever necessary to fit in with the unique needs of children living in a multi-cultural community like Hong Kong. |
