We apply a constructivist approach where students are actively engaged in guided inquiry and are given opportunities to take responsibility for their own learning. It is an active process in which our students are encouraged to construct new understandings from their learning experiences.
We strive to help our students to become lifelong learners, via providing learning experiences which are planned to develop approaches to learning: thinking skills, self-management skills, social skills, research skills and communication skills.
