School Characteristics

School Management
(1) School's Major Concerns	:	(1) To empower students to be self-directed learners by developing students' metacognitive skills and promoting the effective tools for self-directed learning. (2) To cater for learning diversity through curriculum and assessments design, and facilitating peer support. (3) To foster values education by engaging all stakeholders.
(2) School Management Organisation	:	Our academy operates under the management of Tsung Tsin Mission of HK Shamshuipo Church, a Christian organisation with a rich history and extensive experience in school management. Currently, four schools, including our academy, are managed under TTM Shamshuipo Church: STTSS, TTC and TTPSKG.
(3) Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee	:	The SMC, established in 2009, includes representatives of school sponsoring body, the principal, teachers, parents, alumni and independent professionals.
(4) School Green Policy	:	Facilities such as a greenhouse and an eco pond, along with related ecology activities, connect students with Geography and Biology beyond regular class hours. In Christian Ethics and CS, the social significance of environmental protection is emphasised. (1) Waste Reduction: Classrooms are equipped with paper waste separation bins while beverage carton and metal recycle bins are available on the ground floor. A food waste processor encourages waste reduction and recycling habits on campus. To reduce plastic consumption, the sale of bottled water and beverages is prohibited, with more eco-friendly drinking fountains instilled around the campus. (2) Renewable Energy: Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has been installed to enhance sustainability and raise environmental awareness among students. (3) Green Campus Ambassador and Health Ambassador Program: These initiatives aim to promote green living practices.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	As an EMI school, all lessons (excluding Chinese, Chinese History, Putonghua, Christian Ethics, Physical Education, and Thinking Skills) are taught in English. Most school events and activities, including morning devotion sessions, announcements, and promotions, are primarily conducted in English. To create an English-rich learning environment, we have a number of native-speaking English teachers, allowing teachers and students to communicate in a language they are both familiar with, thereby increasing students' exposure to English. Additionally, Putonghua is used to teach Chinese Language in some junior classes to cater to students who learned Chinese in Putonghua in their primary schools.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	(1) Small Class Teaching – Each class consists of 28 students on average. Teacher-student and student-student interactions can be increased through a low student-teacher ratio. (2) Self-directed Learning – Our school aims to promote self-directed learning across all forms and subjects. Students are expected to prepare for lessons and participate proactively to improve their self-efficacy in learning. TTCA's Chinese department integrates the MAPS Teaching Methodology with school-based pre-lesson inquiry to promote self-directed learning. (3) Pre-lesson Collaborative Learning – We emphasise building knowledge and skills together by encouraging students to work closely with each other inside and outside the classroom. Various strategies are practised to promote collaboration among students, helping them master lesson objectives and fully understand the material taught. (4) E-learning – Introduce AI curriculum. Information technology, including various online platforms, apps, and tablets, is widely used in the school to enhance learning and teaching effectiveness. BYOD has been implemented to encourage more collaboration and presentation among students in the classroom, promote personalised learning goals, and strengthen after-school study, thereby enhancing their ability for self-directed learning. (5) Modular Curriculum – S.1 and S.2 students focus on two non-core subjects per semester, such as Science (Chemistry) and History in the first term of S.1. This approach allows students to master newly acquired knowledge and skills with more flexibility and reduces stress from assignments and assessments.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 3X. In the senior secondary curriculum, students are offered over 200 combinations of elective subjects to choose from. To offer diverse pathways for students, the International Advanced Levels (IAL) curriculum has been introduced for senior form students, running concurrently with the HKDSE curriculum. 2. Curriculum highlights: (1) International Advanced Levels (IAL) curriculum for senior form students. The IAL curriculum is run parallel to the HKDSE curriculum, enabling students to choose the pathway that best suits their abilities and interests, preparing them adequately for tertiary education. Up to one-third of places are reserved for the IAL curriculum. The seven elective subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Accounting, Economics, and Psychology. This academic year, we will review the curriculum and consider adding Business. (2) Catering to learner diversity through enhancement classes with curriculum adaptation based on the 3-3-4 curriculum. School-based curricula funded by the QEF include: Self-directed Learning in Chinese Language, integrating Pre-lesson Inquiry and MAPS Teaching Methodology; STEAM Education in Synthetic Biology, preparing students for participation in the iGEM competition; School-based Thinking Skills Curriculum for Junior Forms.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	Strengthening Values Education: (1) Christian Ethics lessons are provided for students from S.1 to S.6, focusing on discussions and analysis of social issues from various perspectives alongside biblical morality. (2) Teachers and students engage in sharing social issues and personal experiences during class periods. (3) Moral and civic education is integrated into various subjects, with dedicated form-based class periods customised for students. Reinforcing the Learning of Chinese History and Culture: (1) Annual cultural, historical, and sports exchange tours to Mainland are organised. (2) Chinese Culture Week is held every academic year. Language across the Curriculum: (1) Reading goals are established for different terms, promoting daily reading to cultivate students' reading habits. (2) Various subjects emphasise reading elements to provide additional learning platforms for students. Promoting STEAM Education and IT: (1) The STEAM curriculum introduces artificial intelligence, programming, and robot assembly to junior-form students to nurture scientific inquiry and creative thinking. Fostering an Entrepreneurial Spirit: Tailor-made thinking skills curriculum for S.1 students cultivates creativity and critical thinking, preparing them for future societal developments.
