Our environment was created to encourage a culture of innovation and collaboration. Moreover, our integration of communication, multiple language proficiency, and collaboration in team projects set us apart from most other schools in ASEAN.

Our end goal is to prepare students for tertiary education and to make them work-ready and world-ready.

Core Beliefs

• We seek opportunities to engage all stakeholders to play a part in the success of our students.
• We maintain a strong Asian cultural value system that celebrates social harmony, order, and respect.
• STEAM competency will differentiate our students from those attending other schools.
