Our programmes provide a holistic learning experience where our students apply mathematical concepts and learn about local and global issues. The Math Mania programme encourages and piques our students’ interest by allowing them to see the relevance of the subject in their daily experiences.
Enrichment programmes, such as Math Excellence 2000 (E2K) and Math Olympiad Training, are conducted for students with the aptitude for the subject and seek to further develop their mathematical reasoning skills.
In addition, the after-school support programme is conducted for students who need additional help in reinforcing their foundation in mathematics. Smaller group settings here provide for a more conducive learning environment.
