Institution for a 2-year course to prepare them for their GCE ‘A’ Level examinations.

The school believes in nurturing and moulding innovative and effectively bilingual
individuals who are proud of their heritage and have a strong sense of compassion. Our
programmes are customized to meet the demands of a dynamic and fast changing world.

Our learning tasks are self-directed and authentic. Our students are responsive, reflective

more in-depth learning.
