About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Inclusive, integrity and Innovative |
| Teaching approach of the school |
We adopt a wide range of teaching approaches based on the age of children and the requirements of curriculum. Generally, we move from teacher-centered to student-centered learning as the year level progresses. We also emphasize on the importance of mastering languages by incorporating different levels of language levels for the English, Chinese and Malay Language subjects, especially in the international school curriculum. REAL Time modules would, on the other hand, focus on learning and applying skills which may or may not be explored deeply in the core subjects. The school also emphasizes on incorporating technology in student’s learning so students are trained to be tech savvy at an early age, giving them the edge over other peers as the tertiary or workforce later on. |
