KINDERGARTEN Kindergarten is a close-knit department, where the teachers assist each other. We offer three years of instruction, from K1 to K3. In K1, there are three classes with up to 16 students each. Once reaching K2, students are divided into two classes with up to 24 pupils. Each Kindergarten class has a general homeroom teacher and a Mandarin language teacher. A teaching assistant is assigned to each K1 and K2 class. We use an award-winning, integrated curriculum that we developed in-house that is organized into three main areas: Character Development, Science, and Mathematics. Each area uses a wide variety of methods and activities designed to stimulate the development of moral, social, and intellectual capabilities in children from age 3. Teachers who thrive are those who can execute this curriculum, radiate joy and positivity, and serve as a good example character-wise. WORKING HOURS Teachers have 36 working hours per week, which is comprised of up to twenty 45-minute teaching periods, various responsibilities, and some planning time. There are about 30 days of Macau and school holidays throughout the year which includes both Winter and Chinese Spring Festival breaks, plus about 50 days of summer holidays. Monthly working Saturdays—which often foster community engagement and extension activities—allow us to lengthen our holidays while still meeting contact day requirements.
