Social Studies
Social Studies lessons aim to teach our students about Singapore and the world around them. It helps instil in our students an appreciation and understanding of the diversity that they see around them. Lessons take an inquiry based approach where students are encouraged to wonder, think and reflect. Lessons also go beyond the classroom when students go on field-based learning journeys to heritage sites in Singapore. This provides the students opportunities to make connections between what is learnt in the classroom and see and experience these for themselves.

Every student will embark on a cultural and historical experiential learning programme from Primary 3 onwards.
