What can I expect my child to learn from the ALP?

The goal of our school’s Applied Learning Programme ‘Growing the Edgefield Mindset’ is to develop Edgefield students with future-ready capabilities through authentic learning so as to nurture them to become autonomous lifelong learners.

The future-ready capabilities that our ALP seeks to develop in our students are curiosity, collaboration skills, communication skills, problem definition skills, inventive thinking, critical thinking, reflective thinking and global awareness.

During the first 2 years of the Applied Learning Programme, your child will go through a series of learning experiences such as skill-based lessons, learning journeys, sharing by knowledgeable others and hands-on workshops. Students will then apply what they learnt by going through 2 project cycles to hone their complex problem solving skills. During the project cycles, they will identify problems, propose solutions to the problems identified and implement the solutions either within the school community or within the wider community. In Year 3, students will be provided with various platforms to pursue their passion and advocate in their areas of interest through our biennial carnival ARTasFEST, external competitions such as MOE Innovation Programme and Future Problem Solving Programme, as well as many other student-initiated projects.
