Subject Objectives
KMYLS aims to provide learners with a wide range of contexts and learning experiences to:

- develop their knowledge, skills, values and attitudes; and
- promote lifelong learning so as to enhance their personal and intellectual development, cultural understanding and global competitiveness.
Characteristic of the Curriculum
Our school-based curriculum, Space Town (KS1) and Text-based Grammar Program (KS2), strive to provide our learners with an authentic and fun learning experience.
We have integrated different aspects such as e-learning and self-directed learning into the programs to develop students’ lifelong learning capabilities. Different approaches are introduced such as Activity Approach, Communicative Approach, Cooperative Learning and Project-based Learning Approach in order to develop student-centred learning and to cater for our students’ needs.
Space Town (KS1)
The program focuses on the teaching of reading and phonics. It provides students with the opportunity to develop the ability to transfer their knowledge to new situations both spoken and written.
Text-based Grammar Program (KS2)
The program focuses on promoting a highly contextualized approach to grammar teaching and improving students’ writing ability. In the program, students are given opportunities to understand the forms and functions of the target language items and structures. They can also explore the relationship between language forms, functions and different text types within various contexts.
