Education is never just about acquiring textbook knowledge, but helping a child grow physically and mentally as well.
Schools in Singapore recognise that a good education extends beyond exam results, and aim at providing children with a ‘holistic education’ – St. Joseph’s Institution (SJI) International being one of them. So, what constitutes a ‘holistic education’?
1. Encourages active learning
Learning isn’t teacher-centred at SJI International. Teachers act as facilitators and fellow collaborators with students in the IGCSE and IB curricula. This fosters independence, confidence, and curiosity in children.
2. Builds character
A holistic education values character education as much as academics. Students at SJI International learn this through its Service Programme, which prepares them to be responsible and compassionate global citizens.
3. Prepares students for the future
Students need to be ready for the real world upon graduation. As such, all SJI International students receive guidance from its University Counsellors not just in university applications, but in preparing for a lifetime of contribution.
