Professor Sin Chow Yiu
Vice President (Academic) and Dean, School of Arts, Hong Kong Nang Yan College of Higher Education Catiline Kindergarten highly values bilingual and tri-dialect language learning. Besides Chinese, English, Mathematics, General Knowledge, singing and playing, students also read Chinese Classics such as "Di Zi Gui", "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", and "Analects of Confucius", where they learn about filial piety, show love and respect to brothers, honesty, etc. I am very grateful that our students can study in Catiline which follows the education philosophy "In Quest of Character - Based Excellence". Students learn much wisdom, but most importantly to nurture moral qualities, enabling students to learn about integrity, care and concern, for other. |

Dr. Tang Lap Kwong
Director of the Centre for Chinese Classical Learning, Chinese University of Hong Kong The Chinese people have always attached great importance to childhood education; this is succinctly illustrated in the old proverb “Age Three determines Eighty”. The education at Catiline kindergartens fully recognizes and fulfills this mission. In the contemporary movement for the revival of traditional Chinese culture, Catiline has established a strong example in preschool education, and greatly enhanced the confidence of others trying to encourage Classics reading and learning by children. I sincerely wish that Catiline’s model of education based on the Classics culture can soon be widely embraced nationwide as a role model! |
Hon Mrs. Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, GBS, JP Member of the HKSAR Executive Council and the Legislative Council Catiline Kindergarten emphasizes whole-person development. This not only enriches students’ knowledge, but also builds up their manners and physique, constructing a solid foundation for their future. The passion and patience from the teachers and staff have demonstrated the education philosophy of Catiline - “In Quest of Character Based Excellence”. My hope is that parents value the balanced learning opportunities for their children in the five aspects of development, i.e. moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic, allowing them to grow up happily. |
