OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL

Spanning Years 1 to 6, Primary School focuses on helping each child become an active participant in their learning, as they increase their independence and become an inquisitive thinker. Structured into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the English National Curriculum, our students build their core academic skills in English and maths, while exploring a variety of other subjects, from music to science.

OUR PERSONALISED APPROACH

Our expert teachers take a personalised approach to learning at NAIS Hong Kong. Throughout Primary School, they tailor the instruction to the interests, needs, goals, and aspirations of each child. With a child-centred approach, they can encourage each to be curious, ask questions, explore, and begin to do research to build their understanding. This helps make the class interactive, where every child participates and is engaged.

Our teachers also help each child build a positive mindset in and beyond the classroom, boosting their confidence and encouraging their overall academic success.

As part of a holistic approach to each child’s education, we help them become a well-rounded and responsible citizen, who wants to help our communities and make our world better. We have a PSCHE unit at the start of each year that focuses on the emotional wellbeing of our students. We also offer a pastoral care and many learning experiences that help each child build their own sense of purpose.
