The Entrepreneurship & Technology Programme blends core IB MYP subjects with entrepreneurship and digital tools, including prototyping, startup simulations, and Digital Innovation Labs. It emphasises interdisciplinary inquiry, technological proficiency, and collaboration across projects. The programme is complemented by a rich Extracurricular Programme with certifications from Microsoft, NFTE, and Pearson, and opportunities to participate in global challenges and competitions. Students on this pathway prepare for post-MYP options in the DP or CP with strong project-based experience.
English is the language of instruction. In Pre-Primary, admissions can be conducted in the child's native language, and English-language requirements are not a barrier at this stage. From the Primary Years Programme (Grade 2 onward), students must pass an English aptitude test, and starting from Grade 3 an English test is required. The school provides ESL support with a dedicated ESL teacher for each year in Primary, and translation assistance is available during admissions.
Extracurricular activities for all age groups include access to more than 100 groups on campus, offering a wide range of clubs and interest-based activities across the student body.
For Primary School, day trips and residential visits are organised, with opportunities for social service activities. Secondary School students are connected with professionals to gain practical skills and navigate careers. These experiences help students develop life skills and community awareness.
