Language Policy The students of Caritas Wu Cheng-chung Secondary School come from over 20 different countries and regions. Chinese is the medium of instruction for junior forms. In order to cope with students’ different needs and abilities, non-Chinese speaking students learn all non-language subjects in English. All subjects other than language subjects in senior forms are taught in both Chinese and English classes. Over 15% of the teaching staff are individuals of different nationalities, creating a multicultural environment both inside and outside the classroom.
Learning and Teaching Strategies Our school closely follows the new senior secondary curriculum. Teachers appropriately change the contents of the subject syllabuses, the teaching methods, students' assignments, and the assessment criteria. The school continuously develops the contents of Liberal Studies and attempts to strengthen the essential learning abilities of junior students. Diverse other learning experiences are provided to further enhance students' quality of life. In the junior level, the school follows the Territory Wide System Assessment criteria whereas the senior levels follow the SBA assessment trend in the NSS. We grouped the existing subjects into seven Key Learning Areas. In the formal curriculum, we conduct courses in performing arts to develop students' multiple intelligence.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Senior secondary students can, from a vast array of key learning areas and applied learning courses, opt for two to three electives according to their interest and aptitude.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: <br> (1) Bilingual teaching <br> (2) School-based Entrepreneurship Curriculum<br> (3) UK IGCSE and GCE A Level courses<br> (4) German Language Course (Junior Form)

With abundant opportunities for cooperative learning and project learning, students are expected to develop a culture of appreciation and cooperation. After-school enhancement programmes and remedial tutorials are provided to help our students progress academically.
