An SCGS Education promises you holistic teaching, care and exposure in the hands of a capable and committed professional team,
spread over a programme of ten years.
SCGS is one of the rare all-girls full schools in Singapore which takes a child from Primary 1 (6 years old),
through the Primary School Leaving Examination, to Secondary 4 (sixteen years old) to graduate with the GCE 'O' Levels.
This widely recognized exit examination marks a critical crossroad from which point you may choose different paths leading to many possible educational and career options.
The 16 year old SCGS graduate is poised to make a sound assessment of her abilities and direction in life.
Whether in terms of a solid academic programme, exposure to a wide range of circumstances for general knowledge,
practical skills to cope with life, ability to make sense of the world, social and moral conscience,
the capacity and ability to lead, the knowledge and practice of a healthy lifestyle or the appreciation of the aesthetics,
the SCGS graduate would have been educated in these aspects of life.
Our century long history in providing foundational education for bright futures and our track record gives this assurance.
Staying relevant, aware and appreciative of the present and the future while drawing lessons from the past,
keeps the school on a steady and balanced course.
The SCGS Education as illustrated in the diagram on the right, sets out our structure for the delivery of our ten year programme.
Our Pupil is the focus, our valued treasure of jade & gold (the school colours), represented as a star
Her development in SCGS is holistically based in these areas represented by the points of the star :

Vision

Mission

to her fullest potential in preparation for meaningful roles in the community; and
Values

From this base is built supports through Partnerships, our Staff and the Systems and Processes of the school
With this structure, we develop our pupils through
F ormal Curriculum

support and participation in many arts projects such as exhibitions, performances and lectures.
C haracter Development

S tudent Well-being
Sees to their emotional, psychological, physical and other developmental needs through programmes like peer and teacher mentoring, counseling, Career guidance and work experience.
Within this structure, not everyone will develop equally in all the domains and different individuals will respond differently to the various approaches so our stars will shine in various ways, individually more so in some areas than others. The exposure and development in all areas will make them more whole and rounded individuals, honed and finished, readied for their next step.
