Our Curriculum: Comprehensive Academic Solutions from Kindergarten to Secondary, Integrated with Student Care

Scaffolded Stages
Effortless Transitions

Rooted in Stephen D. Krashen's "i+1" Comprehensible Input Hypothesis, we have developed a systematic curriculum framework. This structure delivers age-appropriate Chinese language input and stage-based assessments tailored to children's developmental phases.

Our proprietary pathway spans preschool (5Q Thematic Exploration) to primary school (5P Learning Cycle), offering a complete learning journey. This continuum supports students from beginner levels to full PSLE mastery, ensuring children learn Chinese effectively and with confidence.

Exclusive 5Q Learning Model

The Foundation of Early Chinese Learning

Our proprietary 5Q Learning Model is the cornerstone of KC Mandarin's preschool programme

spanning teaching approaches, learning outcomes and thematic design. lt supports children's holistic language development through five interconnected domains.

LQ - Language Quotient

Daily Chinese-English integration through real-life scenarios and interactive activities-naturally boosting language proficiency.
IQ - Intelligence Quotient

Through sensory exploration and playful discovery, students construct their understanding of the environment and wider world-perpetually nurturing curiosity while enhancing their 「Intelligence Quotient」.
CQ - Creativity Quotient

By engaging 「feel it」, 「smell it」, and 「watch it」, students unleash 「Creativity Quotient」 expressing their authentic selves through open-ended artistic creation across diverse creative contexts.
PQ - Physical Quotient

Through structured play scenarios, children develop gross and fine motor skills-building self-efficacy and physical competence while advancing 「Physical Quotient」 through integrated mind-body development.
MQ - Moral Quotient

Through guided imitation, purposeful practice, and mastery reinforcement, children cultivate 「Moral Quotient」 -developing essential self-care skills and constructive habits that foster growing autonomy and self-confidence.
