Discover how the Science Department builds curiosity and a love for nature in students. Explore our programmes, environmental education, and dedicated team.
Overview
The Science Department aims to impart scientific knowledge and skills needed to understand the world we live in. We inculcate in our students the love for Science as well as a sense of appreciation and care for nature.
We provide students with tangible learning experiences through activities to stimulate critical thinking, development of process skills and problem-solving opportunities. We seek to arouse students' curiosity about the world of living things around them and offer them a first-hand encounter with the world of nature through learning outside the classroom. We encourage students to explore and learn beyond books.
With engaging teachers and engaging programmes that are supported with varied resources, we aim to enthuse our students, so that they are interested in the subject, and will do their best
