Good Public Examination Results Our first two batches of S.5 students (2008 and 2009) had obtained very good results in HKCEE. The passing rate of most subjects is over 90% and some even attaining 100%. Special Characteristics of Curriculum English Language United Christian College (Kowloon East) offers an exciting and attractive English Language curriculum on entry in S.1 that builds on students!| past knowledge of English while enabling learners to expand into the realms of language arts and literature in English. The former provides an enriching experience for students!| involvement in various genres, i.e. novels, poetry, debate and social concern that are language based in preparation for the TSA, SBA and challenges of the New Senior Secondary Curriculum (NSS). The latter facilitates learners with the scope of literary appreciation of human works that develop a humanistic outlook on life portraying diverse human thought, emotions and experience. Both language arts and literature in English challenge students with the opportunity to consider the Christian perspective in association with values and attitudes, critical thinking, collaborative skills and cultural enjoyment while targeting language enhancement. The English Department at UCCKE aims to establish a concrete curriculum framework, engage in curriculum planning and incorporate pedagogy and assessment through the use of learning and teaching resources with the support of specialists from the Curriculum Development Institute (CDI), an advisory arm of the Education, Bureau (EDB) in preparing students to excel in both the language arts and non-language arts electives of the NSS. We focus particularly on the chosen electives of one language art and two non-language arts modules of Short Stories, Debate and Social Issues, respectively. Students are encouraged to lay a firm foundation in internalizing the English language, along with raising one!|s cognitive awareness of how the language is used daily. Elective Part (Objectives)
初中中國語文 基書院（東九龍）中一至中三的中國語文科課程全由老師自行設計。在過去的2006-2007學年中，教育局安排了具豐富課程策畫經驗的國內專家李寶光先生進駐本校，除了與老師交流教學心得，更參與本校初中中文課程框架的審視及修訂，為迎接新高中課程預先作好準備。
初中課程在教學及評估方面，均貼近新高中的模式，務求令學生更順利過渡到高中課程。另外，為貫徹新課程的全方位學習模式，本校由中一級開始，已要求學生善用網上教室製作及管理「學習歷程檔案」，內容涉及多樣化的日常課業及學習經驗，如閱讀報告、網上討論等，以配合新高中課程對「學習歷程檔案」的要求。 新高中中國語文 由於本校初中的課程結構與新高中的課程頗為接近，本科可以從中四開始處理「選修單元」，「選修單元」的設計、施教、評估與「必修單元」大致配合，詳情如下：
品德、公民及健康教育、生活與學習技能 本校初中雖然沒有開設通識教育科，但在「生活與學習技能」及「品德、公民及健康教育」科的課程中，早已加入一些通識教育的元素。中一至中三級每年均進行專題研習，專題研習的題材多取自與同學成長有關的課題，以及一些社會關注的議題。本校亦強調同學掌握學習通識教育科的方法，在設計教學活動時，多採用探究式學習，多以小組討論、報、辯論、角色扮演等方式進行教學；而每課題完結時，亦盡量加入相關的聖經教導，引導同學以聖經角度反思所學的重點，融合信仰於生活。 Music UCCKE encourages students to appreciate music by requiring students to learn at least one musical instrument. All S.1 to S.3 students must choose a string instrument to play in class. There is no pre-requisite for taking the music class. The music teacher coaches a variety of string instruments. Each class is a string ensemble as students may choose from violin, viola, cello and bass. Japanese The main purpose of including a foreign language in the school curriculum is to widen the global view of students at a very young age. The three-year introductory Japanese course equips students with a brief understanding of the Japanese language and how it is applied in various scenarios. The syllabus covers the basic pronunciation of Japanese syllables, daily conversations, short articles and stories. Students are exposed to various graded listening, reading and writing exercises. Games, songs and video clips are supplements to motivate and sustain their interests. In order to attend to students' individual needs, tailor made audio recordings are uploaded to the school intranet for students to access outside their class time.
