St. Joseph’s English Academy is affiliated to Nepal Taekwondo Association. Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today Taekwondo has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics also. Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of the word ‘Tae’ ‘Kwon’ ‘Do’. It is composed of three parts as shown in the English spelling, though it is one word in Korean. ‘Tae’ means ‘foot’, ‘leg’ or ‘to step on’; ‘Kwon’ means ‘fist’ or ‘fight’; and ‘Do’ means the ‘way’ or ‘discipline’. If we put these three parts together, we can see two important concepts behind ‘Tae Kwon Do’. First, Taekwondo is the right way of using Tae and Kwon ‘fists and feet’, or all the parts of the body that are represented by fists and feet. Respecting and abiding by the rules and regulations that govern it, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, friendship, camaraderie and goodwill among the members of the St. Joseph’s English Academy for the glory of sports and for the honour of our school.

We assess how young children are learning and developing them frequently. We use information that we gain from observations. We believe that parents know their children best and ask them to contribute to assessment by sharing information about what their children like to do at home and how they as parents are supporting development.
