Vision

A school of excellence that nurtures world-ready Bicultural Scholars who embrace tradition and are champions of society.

Mission

To nurture confident, creative and cultured students with a passion for learning.

Philosophy

Nan Hua High School is founded on the Confucian values Li Yi Lian Chi Zhong Xiao Ren Ai. We take pride in our school heritage and believe in providing a student-centric, values-driven holistic education anchored on the four tenets of school culture -'Ren',Excellence,Learning and Collegiality. Our learning environment nurtures each child's talents and interests especially through our niche programmes, namely the SAP (Special Assistance Plan) & Biculture Programme, Performing Arts, and Environment Education. Our values education emphasises the development of each Nanhuarian as "junzi" or scholar in the Confucian context.

Sdp

The school's SAP and Biculture Programme emphasises the inculcation of school values and culture. In line with our school vision of developing bicultural scholars, our Biculture Programme nurtures our students to have bicultural perspectives; to understand the western and eastern ways of thinking and distil the best of both. In the curriculum, Secondary 1 students learn to appreciate Chinese culture and traditions. Translation and Interpretation as well as learning about Contemporary China enable Secondary 2 and 3 students to learn techniques of translation and the issues and trends in modern China respectively. The Biculture Week activities, Confucian Camp and celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival are examples of opportunities for students to learn and live out values beyond the classroom. Our Character Education Programme is centred on the eight Confucian values of providing the focus for students to learn and understand Confucian values in the context of ancient times and its application to the 21st century world. These values are taught through narratives and stories allowing students to discuss and internalise the values. To complement what is taught in the classroom, the Values Portal is prepared specially for parents to engage their child in further conversations at home. Other activities include Camp Achiever, a school-wide camp, and the Ceremonial Walk through the Values Gateway, which serves to enable students to imbibe school values and symbolises Nanhuarians embracing the school values respectively. CnME is a school-developed curriculum where our students develop 21st century competencies as they explore areas of interest. Anchored in the guiding principle POTENTIAL (Providing Opportunities To Engage and Nurture Talent In Academic areas of Learning), the curriculum has elements of collaborative work, research and ICT skills and a focus on creativity
