Renaissance offers three IB programmes—the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (IBDP)—alongside the Cambridge IGCSE. The PYP serves students aged 2 to 11 and emphasizes inquiry-based learning and foundational skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and science. The MYP provides a balanced curriculum that includes arts, music, and sports and fosters global-minded, creative, critical, and reflective thinkers. The Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme offer rigorous study pathways that prepare students for higher education and future careers.
Arts, music, and sports are integrated within the MYP as part of the school's holistic IB approach. The curriculum emphasises arts-rich learning to develop creativity and problem-solving across subjects. The school fosters creative thinking through project-based learning and opportunities to engage in arts-related activities.
Mandarin, Korean, French, and Vietnamese are offered as World Languages. The language environment provides immersive learning with language-rich resources, specialised classes, tutoring, and assessments to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Language learning is supported by a program that addresses individual language needs and builds confidence in communication.
Enrichment programmes include a wide range of after-school clubs and activities that extend learning beyond the classroom. The enrichment program covers life skills, leadership/service, and personal interests. Participation in these activities broadens social connections and supports personal development.
Service Learning is integrated into the curriculum and engages students from the youngest age to the CAS projects of the IB Diploma. Through thoughtful investigation, planning, and participation in community service action, students become empowered agents of positive change. The Pastoral Care Programme supports a safe, inclusive environment that values every child and fosters belonging.
Enrichment includes leadership opportunities within after-school programmes, including leadership/service activities. Service-learning and CAS projects provide pathways to developing professional and civic skills. Students gain experience in collaboration, planning, and responsibility through these activities.
Physical Education and Sports are central to school life; all students participate in two PE lessons per week and may take part in after-school coaching, teams, and interschool competitions. House-based activities and events foster belonging and school spirit. Pastoral Care and a safe, inclusive environment support student well-being and personal growth.
