Primary
Welcome to Primary
Our diverse and compassionate staff provide the ideal learning environment for students to explore their passions, develop holistically, and achieve their goals. In the classroom, we employ a dual-language and inquiry-based approach that aims to develop international-mindedness and a deep understanding and appreciation for Chinese education. Our curriculum follows the Chinese National Curriculum, and the teaching and learning in the classroom models the IB Primary Years Programme inquiry-based approach. As an IB school, we nurture our students to inquire, think independently, and take ownership of their learning. The rigorous academic standards of our school programme develop confident and knowledgeable students who are well-prepared for their transition to the MYP and beyond.
OCAC is at the forefront of international education in China, particularly in integrating the IB Primary Years Programme with the Chinese National Curriculum. This programme significantly promotes student growth as "whole person" and transforms their approaches to learning.
As Primary School Principal, my vision is to lead my team under the school philosophy of "Chinese origin, Global originality" practicing "academically rigorous holistic education and individually tailored all-round development," to help students confidently embrace the challenges of the 21st century.
