At FCG, our Chinese programme fulfils a unique educational mission. We believe that language and literature serve not only as a medium for communication but also as a vital vehicle for cultural transmission and character formation. We are committed to creating a learning environment that blends cultural heritage with innovative thinking, enabling each student to find a spiritual home in the world of words.

Grade 9 marks the beginning of a new horizon in Chinese studies. Through its dual pillars of "cultural immersion" and "intellectual inspiration," the curriculum strengthens linguistic fundamentals while aligning with the IGCSE requirements. In modern poetry workshops, students explore poetic expression through collage and recomposition; in classical Chinese, selected Ming Dynasty essays guide them in appreciating the spiritual realm of Chinese literati. These immersive experiences breathe new life into traditional culture.

The Grade 10 curriculum focuses on cultivating students' critical thinking and independent reasoning. Through discussions of real-world issues, students learn to analyse social phenomena from multiple dimensions. In role-playing and structured debates, they practice examining questions from diverse standpoints, fostering empathy and understanding. These exercises not only sharpen analytical skills but also broaden their worldview.
