Academy, on top of designing an eleven-year school-based curriculum
for the "through-train" education to prepare the
students to take the International Baccalaureate Diploma examination
and/or the new local university entrance examination to enter
overseas or local universities, has also developed a broad and
balance curriculum for the current secondary students to attend
the Hong Kong Certificate of Education and the Hong Kong Advanced
Level Examination. At present, our school has secondary
classes up to Form 7 level.
Goals of the School-based Curriculum
at Junior Secondary Level
The goals of the school-based secondary school curriculum
for secondary students aim at helping students establish a
firm foundation of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes
necessary for further learning. There would be a particular
emphasis on students’ achieving high standards in literacy
and numeracy, thereby establishing skills essential for success
in all areas of learning in the subsequent years.
The core curriculum will then focus on developing students’
skills, strengthening their values and attitudes through their
continued acquisition and construction of knowledge in all
the key learning areas. The key learning areas will be organized
in a broad and comprehensive program, which would provide
the basis for students’ choice of subjects in later years.
With rigorous training leading to this stage, students are
expected to show ability to consolidate and integrate what
they have learned and make preparations for competitive university
entrance examinations. We would further strengthen students’
abilities for independent and life-long learning; empower
them to learn confidently and creatively by enabling each
student to discover and develop his /her strengths so as
to prepare them for further studies. Students with outstanding
results in matriculation examinations will enter local and
overseas universities of their choice.
Characteristics of the Curriculum
Our
Programme of Studies has been developed in line with recommendations
made by the Curriculum Development Council. Our curriculum
framework is broad and balanced. The formal, informal and
non-formal curricula are lined up and structured in our Programme
of Studies. The curriculum is comprehensive and developmental,
with provisions and flexibility to develop students’ multiple
intelligences and generic skills for independent and life-long
learning while nurturing positive values and attitudes for
their whole-person development. Students will be able to acquire
the Five Essential Learning Experiences, namely, ‘moral and
civic education’, ‘intellectual development’, ‘community
service’, ‘physical and aesthetic development’ and ‘career-related’
experiences. Moreover, the programme also incorporates multicultural
components.
The Programme of Studies comprises the following
interconnected components :
Integrated Learning Sessions (ILS):

With
Programmes developed from the Key Learning Areas embracing
Multicultural Components, mainly to develop students’
learning skills and groom learning habits so that they
love to learn, know how to learn and enjoy learning.

Intelligences
Enhancement Programmes (IEP):

To
develop students’ basic knowledge, skills and intelligences;

assist our students to pursue an abundant life by providing
