Middle School CurriculumAt Sedbergh Middle School, we adopt international teaching approaches and diverse assessment methods to deliver our curriculum, gradually increasing the proportion of English-medium instruction while continuously enriching pupils' learning experiences and their engagement in assessment.

The curriculum covers core subjects including Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, and Integrated Science, as well as extended subjects such as Art, Physical Education, Food Science, and Product Design. Flexible teaching models are employed according to the distinct characteristics of each subject, helping pupils systematically construct their knowledge base. English is taught through leveled instruction, while subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Integrated Science adopt differentiated teaching strategies, ensuring that every pupil makes steady progress in an environment suited to their own pace.
