Education in Human Values (EHV)


At Nanyang Zhi Hui School, human values are not taught as an abstract idea but woven into daily life from the earliest years.

 

Beginning in Nursery, human values are instilled through daily morning assemblies with stories and discussions. From Primary level, Human Values are taught as a dedicated subject and reinforced through activities, service projects, and school culture—shaping students into compassionate, responsible, and holistic individuals.

Highlights of this distinctive program includes:

Morning Assembly

Held every morning with the purpose to infuse the day with good values. Students are responsible to run their own assembly, and thus providing them with ample opportunities to learn about leadership skills, public speaking skills, and possibilities to share their talents with everyone.

Houses

The school is divided into 5 houses, which are House of Truth, House of Right Conduct, House of Peace, House of Love and House of Non-Violence. All the teachers and students belong to one particular house. Each house consists of students from Primary to Senior High School, so there is a range of ages in the house. The purpose of these houses is to create bonds between the older brothers/sisters and younger brothers/sisters. For older students they are learning how to interact, how to perform a responsibility, how to lead and become a role model for their younger brothers/sisters. For younger students, they will have someone to look up to as a role model while they are growing. Instead of only developing bonds with their classmates, they now have the opportunity to create bonds with students who are in different levels and ages from them.
