Curriculum & Programs
Our Approach
Catered

Student Centered
Pedagogy that is student-centred, inquiry-based, authentic, and purposeful.
Dynamic Learning
Capitalizes on the strengths of both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Our Aim
Our key beliefs and what we aim towards.
Uniqueness
To thrive in the age of machines, it is in the best interest that students do not compete with machines. Being unique and equipped with social-emotional intelligence are distinctly human qualities that machines do not have. In the world of artificial intelligence (AI) individual creativity, artistry, and humanity will be important commodities.
Forefront of Change
Lifelong careers and traditional employment pathways will diminish. Jobs and the way business is done will change and the change will be fast. Thus there are almost no knowledge or skills that can be guaranteed to meet the needs of the unknown, uncertain, and constantly changing future.
Student Betterment
Developing practical skills is vital, and high school education should aim to develop compassion, responsibility and resourcefulness.
Guiding Light
Schools must provide opportunities for exposure to the various curriculum aspects so students can make informed choices and develop their passions and unique talents.
