MAGART International Kindergarten adopts a hands-on learning approach with a strong and balanced academic curriculum for every child to reach their full potential and bilingual language excellence.
Happy school and strong academic ability
“There is a mis-conception that play-based learning and a happy school means that academic ability and achievement is sacrificed. We believe that isn’t so and we provide the perfect balance…a happy, hands-on and exploratory learning approach with strong and enriched academic curriculum to ensure our children reach their full potential and are ready for the next step in their learning journey (primary school), whether that be local or international school .” says Ms. Khardine Rendall, Director of School Development of MAGART International Kindergarten.
The foundation of the school curriculum is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) from the United Kingdom with some amendments to ensure to meet the needs and culture of children and families here in Hong Kong. “The increased focus on cultural awareness, appreciation and international mindedness ensures children grow up to be truly global citizens, equipped with life skills, etiquette and manners” adds Rendall.
Culture awareness and language ability
To ensure a strong academic foundation and ability, our curriculum is supplemented with established phonics programs (Jolly Phonics and Letters and Sounds), an especially designed and researched life education curriculum, as well as a specialist mathematics program from Taiwan.
As a bilingual school, MAGART adopts a unique language learning approach whereby there are two qualified teachers, English and Chinese speaking respectively. “Children are completely immersed in a natural and safe bilingual environment, it is incredible how quickly they gain vocabulary, fluency and confidence in language!” says Rendall.
Children are exposed to a print-rich environment even from playgroup (1-2 years old), building strong pre-reading and writing skills from an early age. They learn about the history of traditional Chinese characters through stories and poetry, and have opportunity to join competitions and performances.
Parent’s comment
“I originally enrolled my son in another school but changed when I found MAGART. Since attending MAGART my son expresses himself more often and with more confidence! Bond has shown a lot of improvement since attending MAGART and I can tell he likes school very much!”
