Junior Secondary Level (S1 - S3)
The 8 Key Learning Areas of the curriculum are Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Science, Technology, Personal, Social and Humanities, Arts, and Physical Education. The curriculum aims at kindling intellectual curiosity, developing critical thinking and instilling a fascination for cultures and a love of reading. It is complemented by life education and community service which cultivate a sense of individual and social responsibility.
Senior Secondary Level (S4 - S6)
This is the stage when the school prepares students for tertiary education or work. Students are guided to set goals and excel in their areas of interest and talent. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, young people have to step beyond Hong Kong. The formal and informal curricula ensure that students are well-versed in different cultures and languages, becoming sophisticated individuals at ease in an increasingly globalized market, Chinese nationals who contribute to the world as global citizens.
