SINGAPORE CURRICULUM
In keeping with our school’s foundations, we have specially adapted key elements of the successful Singapore national curriculum and infused these into our teaching and learning approaches. For subject-specific domains, these are to achieve:
- Language literacy and proficiency
- Mathematical numeracy and heuristics
- Scientific critical thinking and process skills
- Creativity and aesthetic appreciation
The core of our curriculum was designed by an academic team of teachers and consultants with years of experience as school leaders. The school’s academic programme is assessed externally at regular intervals to ensure it achieves its aims and outcomes, while remaining relevant to the learning needs of its students.
