Learning and Teaching Strategies To value life education<br>1. We believe that every grain of sand is able to be transformed into an invaluable pearl. Each child can be successful but someone needs to be a clam, to love and nurture them and give them trials.<br>2. Education is the process of one's life influencing another's. Teaching by words and modeling are of equal importance. Emphasis is placed on whole-person development. The aim of education is to provide opportunities for students to maximize their strengths.<br>3. A 6-year life education curriculum is designed to nurture "Wesleyans" who have good morals and knowledge and are bold to bare responsibilities. <br>4. The average passing rate of 2021 DSE was over 99%. Students who attained the basic entry requirements to universities and the admission rate through JUPAS were both above the territory average.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Please refer to the school website (http://www.mcw.edu.hk) for details.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Life Education, Integrated Performance Art (IPA), Other Learning Experience (OLE).
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity 1. Our professional counseling team consists of an educational psychologist, a speech therapist, two school social workers and three counselors.<br>2. To reinforce senior students' role as models of their junior counterparts, “Big brothers and sisters” groups are established to give support to S.1 juniors.<br>3. “Duo class-teachers” policy is introduced to foster care to students.<br>4. English is taught in small groups for junior CMI classes.<br>5. Remedial classes on English language, Chinese language and Mathematics are held for junior level students.<br>6. In “Super Circle Scheme” for the elite students, various kinds of academic activities, both inside and outside school, are arranged for target students to extend their potentials and strive for excellence.<br>7. After-school enhancement classes are run by different subject panels for senior level students to give them remedial help or to enhance their capacity.
Approach to Integrated Education The school endeavors to cultivate inclusive culture on campus and give support to students with special education needs (SEN) through whole-school approach. By reallocating resources, we provide diversified services that rightly address their learning needs and help them to integrate into the school.
