Social Studies

The Social Studies curriculum aims to shape students into informed, concerned and participative citizens who appreciate the interconnectedness of Singapore and the world by exploring thought-provoking issues. By fostering critical thinking and reflective skills, the program deepens students' understanding of key societal challenges both locally and globally while nurturing a sense of belonging to the nation. Through inquiry-based learning, students acquire the knowledge, skills and values needed to contribute responsibly to society.
