Interdisciplinary Inquiry
To promote ownership of their learning, VEO encourages students to uncover new knowledge, values and skills by immersing them in transdisciplinary inquiry-based learning activities. Through the inquiry process, students actively develop concepts by asking questions, collecting data, analysing, organising and reporting information as well as reflecting on what they have learnt.
Future-focused
The VEO curriculum focuses on supporting students in becoming internationally-minded through facilitating them to inquire into both local and international issues. In the process, the students will discover how their well-being is intimately linked with others. They will also learn to take action appropriate for their age, to become creative and resourceful risk-takers in the face of challenges as well as to develop social skills and empathy for others.
Preparation for Lifelong Learning
Early childhood sets the stage for lifelong development. By affording students a broad range of IB competencies, we plant seeds that prepare them to become future ready and independent learners throughout the course of their education journeys.

Columbia University’s Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP)
TCRWP is a reputable research-based reading and writing programme developed by Columbia University’s Teachers College. The TCRWP programme adopts a cutting-edge approach to language and literacy education by supporting young students in becoming avid and skilled readers, writers, and inquirers. At VEO, this means becoming enthusiastic readers and writers in both English and Chinese, and facilitating a smooth transition to primary school.
Empowering Students
Young readers are encouraged to apply their new skills to reading stories that speak to them, to enjoy full agency over their reading.
Sharing and Communication
Students are encouraged to be creative and to develop their communication skills by sharing what they learnt from reading with teachers and peers in class.

Maker-Centered Learning Research Initiative with Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Together with Project Zero of the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), VEO co-collaborated on the study, “Agency by Design: Early Childhood in the Making”, immersing students in maker-centered learning (MCL) within and beyond the STEAM disciplines. Gaining a foothold in STEAM disciplines equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a fast-changing world.
VEO incorporates in-depth thinking routines focused on maker-centered learning goals into students’ inquiry-based learning activities. These routines serve to foster students’ critical and creative thinking skills as well as their empathy for others.
The tailored MCL activities have encouraged our students to analyse and deconstruct the dimensions of their worlds, to encourage them to think more deeply about the objects and systems that they engage with every day.
“We Think, We Feel, We Care” Little Makers STEAM Education Festival
The Little Makers STEAM Education Festival was a unique experiential learning supporting UNICEF Hong Kong's "Cherish Water" charity campaign. Over 2,000 families participated in the Festival and the student exhibits reflected their creativity and hopes for the future, from water filtration systems to 3D dioramas of the water cycle. During the Festival, the students proudly demonstrated in three languages to peers, teachers and families how their inventions could help to solve real world issues.
