Our LESSONS and Programmes

As the SS syllabus is progressive in nature, there are several programmes and activities that are designed for the respective levels to achieve the intended learning goals.

(i)     Field-Based Learning through Cohort Learning Journeys 

Field-based Learning (FbL) refers to learning that extends beyond the walls of the classroom where students are exposed to authentic real-world settings. 

Students, starting from Primary 3 to Primary 6 levels go on various Learning Journeys to contextualise their learning experiences, enabling the relational learning of concepts and content. Such authentic learning experiences shape the students’ development through experiences that they have, which include using their five senses to soak in the rich cultural aspects these places have to offer. Besides that, students also learn to understand and respect the cultural differences as well as to embrace diversity.
