Chinese Curriculum

The Chinese Curriculum represents a key component of Harrow LiDe’s pioneering intercultural curriculum. Harrow Nanning’s innovative Chinese Curriculum is developed in the form of a ‘Big Unit’, which integrates history, geography, moral education and other subjects into the Chinese Language and Literacy learning. Through group discussions, classroom presentations, debate competitions and traditional Chinese cultural performances, students develop their critical thinking and expression skills.

Furthermore, Harrow Nanning provides a Chinese language programme for non-native speakers, enabling them to gain proficiency in the Chinese language, integrate into Chinese campus life, develop an in-depth understanding of Chinese history and traditional culture, and access information about contemporary China.
