Mandarin Chinese is taught as a specialist subject in the EYFS by dedicated teachers. The EYFS curriculum is based on the 2021 EYFS framework and the English Primary National Curriculum, emphasizing Prime and Specific areas of learning through play and inquiry. The learning environment is Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-directed, with documentation and parent involvement via online journals. A team of specialists supports learning in Physical Education, ICT, Mandarin Chinese, and Music, in addition to the class teacher and educational assistants.
DBIS’s Early Years Foundation Stage comprises FS-1 and FS-2, taught at a dedicated EYFS campus in Discovery Bay, Lantau Island. The programme follows the EYFS within the school’s broader British curriculum framework, with English as the language of instruction and EAL support for children who are new to English. The campus features Reggio Emilia-inspired learning spaces, a library, dining hall, specialist music room and generous outdoor areas. A distinctive feature at EYFS is the Forest & Beach Schools programme, giving each child regular, structured time to learn outdoors in local natural settings. Families can review admissions and fees via the School Admissions page, which links to the official DBIS Fees & Levies document. The school also offers school bus arrangements within Discovery Bay and publishes regular parent information and workshops, including Mandarin learning sessions.
