The YK Pao School curriculum has been designed by leading educators from China and overseas to help prepare students for entry to leading universities and for success in life. The 12-year programme educates students to be confident and articulate, independent and creative and above all to have a love of learning.
One of the key features of the curriculum is the unique dual-language environment. We aim for all students to become proficient communicators in Chinese and English over the course of their studies. The language balance is as shown below:
Primary School (Year 1-5)
Based on the Shanghai curriculum and incorporating curricular components, resources and teaching approaches from other major international curriculums. Students graduate with a Shanghai Certificate of Primary Education.
Junior Secondary (Year 6-9)
Based on the Shanghai Curriculum and incorporating curricular components, resources and teaching approaches from other major international curriculums. Students graduate with a Shanghai Middle School Graduation Certificate.
Senior Secondary (Year 10-12)
Students will work towards the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a leading university preparation programme, recognised internationally. We intend to apply for International Baccalaureate Organisation accreditation.
