Key Programmes
1. ART
Our Art Programme fosters creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression through meaningful artmaking and inquiry. By engaging students in activities involving “Drawing to See” to “Think”, and to “Imagine”, students develop keen observation, imagination, and visual reasoning skills that make their thinking visible through art.
Learning with Portfolios and Visual literacy:
From Lower Secondary, students embark on their artistic journey through e-portfolios, where they document their learning, creative processes, and reflections. This practice encourages visual analysis and visual exploration, helping students understand how ideas take form through making and reflection.
As they progress to Upper Secondary, students continue to build on their portfolios as a showcase of their artistic growth and unique voice. This process supports the development of critical, adaptive, and inventive thinking — core outcomes of the new Art syllabus — and prepares them to curate and present their artworks with confidence and purpose.
Through these experiences, our Art Programme equips students to be reflective, creative, and future-ready learners, capable of responding thoughtfully to the world through visual expression.

2. Design & Technology
The D&T curriculum provides students with a design-and-make programme which allows them to solve real-world problems. Students use the Design Process (similar to Design Thinking) in their problems solving approach. The curriculum develops students' creative, innovative and adaptive thinking. It also aims to build students' resilience and self-confidence. At lower secondary, students are given design situations to scaffold their learning. They design and make handphone holders, night lights, and desk tidies using resistant materials like wood, metal and plastic. At upper secondary, students will choose their own design situations before embarking on their design-and-make journeys.
