Young Scientists Programme, formerly named the Scholars’ Programme, was introduced in 2007. The Young Scientists Programme is a privileged programme that develops high-achieving Science students in critical thinking and problem solving, so as to prepare them to handle real-world problems of the 21st Century, through innovation and inquiry. Through the gargantuan of partnerships and collaborations with various educational institutions, the Young Scientists Programme seeks to provide exposure and substantial learning opportunities for its students in the area of Science.
A community of passionate, independent and self-directed leaders capable of empowering their peers towards academic achievement and being active contributors towards their community.
To provide a learning platform for our students to ignite their passion, stretch their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and extend their learning to science-related careers.
As part of the Dinan Leadership Programme (School's LLP), the YSP students are involved in the planning, execution and review of some of the key school programmes and events.
