What this means
The teaching approach
An academic (or structured) program has more teacher-led lessons and routines to prepare children for the structure of kindergarten.
The language model
This school teaches in Cantonese but isn't a full immersion program — Cantonese is woven in alongside English rather than being the main language of instruction.
