Luxelakes Cloudland International Kindergarten

Learning at Cloudland

Learning at Cloudland is inquiry-based. Our educational approach encourages students to actively participate in the learning process by asking questions, seeking answers, and exploring ideas through play, research, experimentation, and reflection.

Rather than following a predetermined curriculum or teaching materials, we design our units of inquiry-based upon the students collective interests. This kind of learning allows our students to pursue their own passions, making learning more engaging and relevant to their lives. By asking open-ended questions and taking an investigative approach to learning, students are able to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

At Cloudland we use inquiry-based learning as an effective way to promote student-centered learning. We empower students to take onership of their learning, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Shirley SongChinese Principal

It took a very long time to prepare Cloudland into its very existence today as we were constantly contemplating on key aspect: how we can polish up every detail exercising the 'child-centred' philosophy, how we can fit our curriculum design with the space, environment and community for the realization of our educational ideas and goals, and how we can build a home away from home filled with a sense of security and belonging for children.
The very foundation is to ignite their curiosity, and to facilitate exploration of nature and well-rounded development. Such contemplation turns finally into confidence and affirmation, as every educator is convinced that children graduating from Cloudland will be equipped with the ability for well-rounded development, healthy body, wise thinking, and positive mind.
We believe in, and look forward to engaged each resilient spirit, gathering the sense of contribution, connectivity, and exploration in our graduates. We believe that education carries the potential to change the world. We wait for Cloudland's children to become the future change makers to the world.
