At Maryknoll Fathers’ School, we are committed to fostering excellence in education through a comprehensive curriculum that promotes proactive and self-directed learning. We cater to the diverse needs of our learners by integrating real-life applications, innovative technology, and personalized pathways that ignite curiosity and encourage self-reflection, all while ensuring academic rigor.
As we impart knowledge, we guide students in recognizing and nurturing their unique interests and potential. This process helps them develop a strong sense of national identity, deepen their religious values, and embrace their societal responsibilities. Our dedication to holistic development equips each student for academic success as well as for life as compassionate and informed individuals.
English is seamlessly woven into daily life at our school, empowering students to communicate confidently and naturally through lessons, events, announcements, and activities. Chinese learning is brought to life with immersive experiences, such as author trail tours and cultural workshops in traditional arts like tea ceremonies. Writing tasks linked to current affairs deepen their understanding of society and culture.
Mathematics and Science lessons connect theory to real-life applications, enabling students to model objects, measure building heights, and test concepts through engaging activities that integrate knowledge into hands-on experiences, such as cooking and farming.
Technology plays a crucial role in our teaching and learning approach. The universal adoption of tablets enhances e-learning across all subjects, facilitating creative note-taking, exploration of AI tools for personalized exercises, and experiments using digital sensors and simulations. Subjects like Chinese History come alive through virtual and augmented reality experiences, creating vivid connections to the past.
Recognizing the diversity of our learners, we are dedicated to cultivating essential study skills—such as effective note-making and responsible use of AI tools—to promote academic success and foster independent study habits. Our approach includes ability grouping and mild streaming, particularly in English and core subjects, complemented by differentiated tasks, tiered assessments, and varied teaching strategies tailored to individual needs. This personalized focus ensures that every learner can thrive and realize their full potential.
To support students with varying abilities and aspirations, we offer adapting and bridging classes at the junior levels. As they progress, students can choose from a broad range of elective subject combinations enriched by field trips, study tours, and co-curricular programs in music, visual arts, and physical education—ensuring comprehensive whole-person development. Our targeted academic support and explicit instruction in organizational, memorization, and self-reflection skills challenge and inspire every student to grow and excel in all facets of their education.
