With commitments in providing quality education, we specially introduce a brand-new ‘Glocalized’ Curriculum to Hong Kong students. In short, it combines the essence and advantages of the international and local curricula which meets the diversified learning needs of different students. To produce 21st century leaders with strong Christian faith, global mindedness and the desire to incessantly search for excellence, we will fully devote ourselves in the professional development of the Curriculum. In the future, our students will have alternatives in their future study, going for New Secondary School Curriculum or Diploma Program, after they have completed the first 9 years of learning experience.

Features of the Glocalized Curriculum

The Glocalized Curriculum represents our bold attempt in meeting the challenges and the opportunities offered by the trend of glocalization in the field of education through the work of integrating the local curriculum and the international education curricula. The Curriculum engages students actively in a professionally designed, innovative, balanced and diverse learning experience provided by a twelve-year through-train exploration. Moreover, the Academy places great importance in developing students’ language ability; therefore, the Curriculum aims at enhancing students’ biliteracy and trilingualism plus one foreign language. English will be adopted as the major medium of instruction and Putonghua will be adopted in the Chinese subject teaching. The Academy will recruit a high ratio of Native English-speaking Teachers (NETs) to enhance the students’ English proficiency. To uphold the Academy’s core values, our students will receive intensive character-building program built on biblical foundation so as to foster their whole person development. Furthermore, the Academy does not only see the purpose of assessment solely for ‘selection’ but also an indicator of the students’ learning progress and outcomes.

Overview of the MYP curriculum

Lutheran Academy is an authorised IB MYP World school offering a three-year programme (Year 7 to Year 9).  The curriculum involves the implementation of Hong Kong local curriculum with reference to the MYP framework.  The programme inspires and develops students to be inquiry-driven which enables them to understand and explore the world through thought-provoking open-ended questions.

We offer the Hong Kong Secondary School Curriculum through eight subject groups in our Middle School, namely:

• Language & Literature (English Language Arts and Chinese & Culture)

• Language Acquisition (English Language Arts and Chinese & Culture)

• Individuals and Societies

• Integrated Sciences

• Mathematics

• Arts (Drama, Music and Visual Arts)

• Physical & Health Education 

• Design

• Aerospace Engineering

In addition to the above, we have our school-based programmes in LED/Bible and Chinese History.

The programme promotes interdisciplinary learning allowing students to see the knowledge and learning connections between academic subjects. This integrated learning allows students to develop habits of mind that they need to participate in an ever-increasingly interconnected world.   Besides the learning in the eight subject groups, our MYP students have to do the following projects to complete the program:

Community Project – The Community Project is a major task for Year 9 students to complete their Middle School Programme before they transition to the DSE or IBDP programme. MYP projects involve students in a wide range of activities to extend their knowledge and understanding and to develop their skills and attitude, evaluating the product/outcome and reflecting on their project and their learning. 

As students become involved in the self-initiated and self-directed learning process, they will find it easier to construct in-depth knowledge on their topic and develop an understanding of themselves as learners.

Service and Action – At the centre of the Community project is Service and Action learning, which students gain experience in, inside and outside of the classroom using the inquiry skills students gain through the IB framework. 

Learners at Lutheran Academy demonstrate a commitment to service and act to make a positive difference to the environment and the lives of others. As an IB World School, Lutheran Academy values the importance of taking principled action across a range of interconnecting local and global communities. 

Combining responsible action with sustained inquiry and critical reflection, our students can develop the attributes of the learner profiles which are essential for success at different stages of lives.

Teaching and learning in the MYP are underpinned by the following concepts:

Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills – help students to learn how to learn so that they can be at the centre of their learning by developing skills for critical and creative thinking, communicating, collaborating and managing themselves.

Key and Related Concepts – each subject develop units that use these as part of their statement of inquiry. These concepts help students explore the big ideas in each unit through inquiry questions and collaboration.

Global Contexts – another part of the statement of inquiry, this help make learning authentic and gives students an understanding of why their learning is relevant and important in a globalised world.

With an aim to ensure our students’ whole-person development, the school strived to foster their innate passion for learning, while encouraging them to explore their interests through a wide range of extra-curricular activities. The school organized different activities in areas of music, sport, visual art and food technology etc. for students to select their favorite courses to participate.  These activities not only benefit their physical and mental health, but also instill in them the virtues of perseverance and self-discipline. CCA is arranged on bi-weekly basis and falls on school’s normal class schedule so as to encourage students’ to participate in “whole-person development” actively.

Career Counselling Team provides guidance on students’ career exploration process, post-secondary opportunities and career planning. Each year group has specific career and education guidance tailored to accommodate the needs of students, e.g. life education lessons, individual career counselling sessions, etc, aiming to ensure our students are aware of the opportunities and options available to them and therefore be able to make informed decisions about their future.
