Students acquire time management skills and build up self-initiated learning abilities through group activities and projects. They learn how to collaborate with others. In addition to the daily learning activities within the Academy, field trips and cultural exchange programmes during school holidays locally and overseas are organised. These trips are voluntary. Having carefully considered the development of education in other countries all over the world, the Academy has customized the design of the junior and senior secondary curricula to match the new local secondary education public examinations and has incorporated some pertinent content of curriculum from overseas. This enables students to learn with global-mindedness, thereby preparing them to study overseas at a later stage. |
