Curriculum

Give your child the best start on their educational journey

The Woodland English international curriculum stimulates, inspires, challenges and nurtures children’s sense of awe and wonder in a safe and engaging playgroup-like environment. Our kindergarten & pre-nursery classes follow the English Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with one of our Hong Kong campuses following the Montessori approach. We offer English, Mandarin and Bilingual language options.

All our HK campuses are members of the UK-based Early Alliance, and this ensures we develop and maintain standards in line with our global counterparts.

The EYFS curriculum enables each Woodland child to move on to primary education equipped with the tools and skills that they need to succeed; a love of learning, independence and self-confidence. Whether you want to enrol your child into our baby pre-nursery, or are prepping him/her for primary school, our bilingual and inquiry-based playgroup learning environment will give your child the opportunity to grow and learn at his or her own pace, while enjoying the process every step of the way.

Woodland Pre-Schools Programme of Inquiry is a framework that summarises our entire international curriculum across the Woodland Journey, from our Rollers to Playgroup, all the way through to our Prep for Primary programmes.  It consists of 4-5 cross-curricular projects throughout the year, giving breadth and depth to the learning.

The foundation of our Programme of Inquiry is conceptual understanding of big ideas. Children are encouraged to ask questions which form the basis of their inquiry, and with expert guidance, the children gradually make connections to the big idea.

Language learning supports children to become internationally minded and be fully active global citizens. At Woodland, we encourage children to be proficient in both the English language and Mandarin, whilst honouring their mother tongue and identity.

Catering to families in Hong Kong that use Chinese as their primary language, we offer a Mandarin programme that is taught using a Montessori, play-based inquiry method. We take this approach in the belief that authentic experiences and the process of exploring the language can instil a love of language learning for life.

Children have Mandarin learning outcomes for each step of their Woodland Journey, from exploring different sounds, understanding strokes and recognising characters to using simple phrases and developing social interaction to express themselves.
