| Language Policy |
The medium of instructions for junior students is mainly in English so as to enhance their English efficacy. Senior students can select the medium of instructions for their elective subjects in order that they can fully grasp the subject knowledge and achieve the best grades. An International Examination Committee is set up for coordinating International English assessment to promote English learning. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Our school advocates “CHING-CHUNG G21 Empowerment Learning”. In order to provide appropriate kits and strategies to facilitate empowerment learning, we are going to further develop diversified teaching methodology on a Google-based interactive e-learning platform which allows students to learn beyond the limits of time and space. Teachers would be able to tailor-make diversified teaching materials on this platform to better cater for individual students' needs. Materials like tutorial videos, lesson broadcast, interactive surveys, live-broadcast of activities, lesson notes, and assessments will all be made available on the platform to facilitate students' learning. Students can make full use of the materials for lesson preparation and consolidation. They would also be able to discuss with their peers and teachers, ask each other questions, do exercises and assignments, take assessments, and receive timely feedback inside and outside classrooms. Moreover, students are allocated into classes according to mixed abilities so as to avoid labeling effects. However, for the subjects of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics, students are allocated into different small groups according to their abilities to cater for their individual needs. |

| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
In order to cater for individual needs, students are allocated into different small groups according to their abilities for the subjects of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics. For senior forms, we offer more than 300 subject combinations to suit students’ individual interests and ability to prepare them to make the best choice for their future.

| Approach to Integrated Education |
The school's Inclusive Education Committee consists of the SENCO, the SEN-teachers, and social workers. We provide support and training to teachers and amend appropriate courses and assessments for students with special educational needs (including local and NCS students) so that students with different needs can learn and grow with our timely and appropriate care. We communicate with parents of students with special educational needs on a regular basis, listen to parents' opinions and report about students' learning progress. In addition, we use the Learning Support Grant and the Grant for Supporting Non-Chinese Speaking Students with Special Educational Needs to invite external professionals or teams to provide support and counseling services for students in need such as Chinese and English reading and writing training courses, concentration training groups, social training group and support group for NCS students with special educational needs, etc. |

We follow and practise our school motto “Glorify God and Love Others”. We encourage our students to cultivate a well-balanced character based upon the Bible to meet the challenges of the ever-changing world. In such harmonious learning atmosphere, students can truly develop a character of self-respect as well as respect for God and others. |
