Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Hong Kong Christian Service
Shek Kip Mei Nursery School

We implement and teach “Life Education” in our school. In addition to providing the general academic knowledge, the nurturing of children’s inside characters plays a crucial role in their personal development. Through the core-value-building lessons, project-based learning and learning from live events, we help our children develop positive values and the civic qualities of loving themselves, others and society through our teaching in “knowing, feeling, believing and acting”.
