| Language Policy |
To be in line with the EDB MOI fine-tuning policy, English is used as the medium of instruction (MOI) for Science and Mathematics in all S.1 to S.3 classes. Extended Learning Activities are conducted in English in Integrated Humanities and Citizenship, Economics and Society (starting from 24/25 academic year).

| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
With a strong emphasis on student-centered Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), students are actively encouraged to engage in pre-class preparation, collaborate with their peers, showcase their learning outcomes, and engage in critical reflection. We firmly believe that by incorporating the principles of Self-regulated Learning (SRL) and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), students have the potential to not only master essential learning skills but also cultivate effective learning habits and elevate their higher-order thinking abilities. |
