Students are exposed to 21st Century learning skills and real-life learning opportunities that would enable them to face the challenges of this fast-paced world. We guide and support students by giving them holistic approach emphasizing on academic excellence, leadership, character building and creativity. We are highly skilled in transitioning students both from our Primary School and/or students who may be joining us for the first time. They were given utmost care by both teachers and students who understand them being the freshmen. Moreover, we have a strong student Supreme Government that builds up the students’ leadership. Equal to this is the strong Peer Support Group. It is a student welfare team designed to meet the needs and passions of each individual student. They are trained to be little counselors who adopt a class or students who need academic or emotional support. The students are made familiar with a broad range of experiences through school camps, learning journeys, sports, community service, CCAs, visual and performing arts which strongly encourages interaction among them and the society.
Our international education offers innovative and world-class programme of the most updated Cambridge Curricula which are the Secondary Cambridge Checkpoint for Lower Secondary and Cambridge IGCSE for Upper Secondary. It provides broad and balanced study across a wide range of subjects, using learner-centred and enquiry-based approaches to learning. At IGCSE level, students are highly successful and prepared with the skills needed for study at A level and beyond. By the time our students finally leave Secondary level, we are confident that they excel in their Junior College years and are flexible and adaptable life-long learners in an ever changing world.
