FutureLearn Curriculum (FutureLearn) is our signature programme aimed at equipping students with 21st century competencies (21st CC) and future literacies – sustainability and digital literacy.

FutureLearn Structure
FutureLearn consists of three core pillars: Environmental Sustainability, Community Youth Leadership (Social Sustainability) and Digital Literacy. The curriculum is enriched and supported by Maker Education. In Secondary 3, students participate in a Capstone project which requires them to work in teams to solve real-world challenges in their community. They have the autonomy to choose project topics based on their passions and interests.
Leveraging the world as their classroom, selected students will also have the opportunity to join overseas immersion trips. The QUEST Global programme provides the overseas experience, helping students to better understand the region and build valuable networks.
