KCIS has adopted a modified version of the British National Curriculum from Primary 1 through to Primary 6, with English, Mathematics and Science as the Core subjects. Other subjects are taught through cross-curricular, topic-based activities, that include Geography, History, Information Technology and Music. The curriculum has been adapted and re-written to include a good deal of learning about both Hong Kong and Asian History and Geography. Information Technology and Physical Education are also important elements of the whole curriculum. Mandarin is the fourth core curriculum subject which is offered, and reading, writing, speaking and listening skills are taught by fully qualified Mandarin speaking teachers. Lessons are between 40 - 60 minutes daily. In addition, Primary 1 has a weekly Music lesson, and Primary 2 - 6 have an additional Chinese Culture lesson, both taught by the Mandarin teachers.

Extra Curriculum

Each semester the teaching staff offers extra curricular activities after school, at no extra charge. The activities on offer vary from year to year, but usually cover a range of artistic and sporting activities.

School Visits

As part of the curriculum, classes are often taken to places of Interest in and around Hong Kong, very often connected with the work the students are undertaking in the classroom.

In addition, each year, students from Primary 4 and 5 go on an extended trip of up to four days, to a local venue, and Primary 6 go on an extended visit to an overseas venue.

The aim of taking children on educational trips such as these is to encourage independence, self-reliance and self-esteem in the individual, and to foster an increasing interest in Hong Kong and Asia. Therefore it is an extremely important part of their overall education at Kiangsu & Chekiang Primary School.
