Victoria educational organisation

The importance of early childhood education is generally agreed upon and encouraged worldwide. Researchers have learned that the human brain develops the vast majority of its neurons, and is at its most receptive to learning, between birth and three years of age. As a result, we believe in providing students with a wide variety of opportunities to learn from the age of 2, right up to 6, when they are ready to enter primary school.

Our Nursery offers classes with the aim of strengthening children’s biliteracy and trilingual abilities. Through an inquiry-based approach, we prepare our students to be adaptable in a multicultural society. In today’s ever-changing world, it is increasingly important to be able to converse in multiple languages to develop cultural competence as a global citizen. Our unique multilingual environment provides students with the opportunity to learn to effectively communicate in three languages spoken widely in the world today; English, Cantonese, and Putonghua.

Our newly renovated campus was designed to facilitate effective teaching and learning. Our brightly lit classrooms feature a neutral colour scheme to bring the colours of nature into daily life. From large windows to tree house reading areas, each classroom has a unique design which caters to the needs of young learners. At Victoria (Homantin) International Nursery, we aim to provide our students with an environment that fosters a keen love of learning and a desire to further their skills and knowledge.

Homantin has been a project and partner school of the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project of Columbia University since 2016. This is an inquiry-based programme that immerses children in the world of literacy, allowing them to develop their abilities, confidence, and stamina as readers and writers. The workshops for students are conducted collaboratively by the class teachers who help students encounter literacy and language through different genres and styles. The project has proven extremely successful amongst students, who have demonstrated high levels of focus, enthusiasm and commitment to learning.

Victoria (Homantin) International Nursery was our first campus established in Kowloon. It is located in Homantin, and is surrounded by a wealth of public facilities. From the Public Library to multiple sports grounds, our students can make use of these facilities to enhance and stimulate their learning. We believe that it is vital for young children to live balanced lives to mature into well-rounded individuals. The facilities in our area allow for parents as well as our school community to support their children in a variety of extra-curricular activities that cater to their interests. These include field trips to museums, post offices and other public facilities.
