課程編排 Curriculum arrangement
York provides an international education founded in 3 aspects :
1) Proficiency in English, Mandarin and Cantonese
2) Alignment with international academic standards
3) International exposure and awareness
學習/教學方式及活動 Learning/Teaching approach & activities
1) Mastery in languages is a prerequisite of an international education, which is why our children get exposed to a
trilingual curriculum as early as 3 years old. However, linguistic proficiency is not sufficient for an international
education; the curriculum must also be international as well. 2) To this end, all of our core subjects (English,
Science, Math, Chinese, and Music) are benchmarked to international standards, in order to provide each child with
an international body of knowlege to allow them the maximum academic flexibility and freedom in the future. 3) Last,
in order to develop international awareness, our teachers and children do a lot of videoconferencing and
international projects with schools in London, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Kansas, Ohio, New South Wales, the
Gold Coast, Pakistan, and various cities in China. An excellent example of our international collaborations is the
"One World Project", a children's international charity photo exhibition which we are hosting that seeks to identify the
similarities and differences between children around the world. In the project, each child will be given a disposable
camera to take pictures of what they want to be when they grow up as well as their likes and dislikes. The pictures
will then be collected from all of the participating children around the world to form a photo exhibition which will go on
tour around the world to all the countries which took part.
學習評估 Learning assessment:
In addition to in-school assessments twice a year, we encourage all students to challenge themselves
against external academic benchmarks. 1) In English, our children routinely take the Cambridge Young
Learners' Tests (CYLET) Starters and Movers level tests, with the average score being 86% and 70%
respectively. 2) In math, our children take SAT 10 (math portion) examinations, with a sizable number of
candidates reaching the primary 2 level. 3) In science, we encourage all of our children to try for the CREST
awards administered by the British Association for the Advancement of Science. 4) In music, our graduating
class normally take and pass the violin ensemble examination administered by the National College of
Music, London with honors. 5) Last, in Mandarin, we encourage our children in both our 4 and 5 year old
classes take the Junior Putonghua Tests. 6) We are also the first kindergarten in Hong Kong and China to
work with Prince Tennis to make tennis an indispensable feature of our school's sports curriculum.
學校特色 School Characteristics
學校使命及抱負 School vision and mission:
Our mission is to help our children become all that they can be.
對學生支援 Support students:
We understand that 3 hours of instruction is not enough to exhaust a child's potential, which is why we
have forged partnerships with several media development companies to develop software, DVDs, music
CDs, and other multimedia materials for our children to extend the learning process beyond the
classroom and to provide the necessary support for children to learn at home.
