Whole-school 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 classes. Together with lunchtime and afterschool English and Putonghua learning activities, we aim at creating a multilingual language learning environment for our students. In addition, after-class remedial support is also provided for students to facilitate their adaptation to English as the MOI. Meanwhile, Putonghua is also used as the MOI in Chinese lessons in all S.1 to S.3 classes. Both CMI and EMI streams are offered at S.4 to S.6 and Putonghua may be used as the MOI of Chinese lessons. (For details, please refer to Subjects offered in 2022/2023 and Subjects to be offered in 2023/2024)

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
With student-centered learning mode, students are encouraged to do preparation before lesson, discuss with peers, display their learning outcomes, reflection and accommodation. We believe that students can master their learning skills and develop study habits with the practices of Self-regulated Learning (SRL). "Self-regulated" and "cooperative learning" strategies lead students in the path to become an active self-learner.
