Electives offered through the Scholars Programme may include drama, public speaking, business management, sports leadership, app development, music, fitness, STEM challenges, art, social studies, and psychology.
This personalized approach not only cultivates essential skills like critical thinking and creativity but also provides students with enriching experiences that will shape their academic journey. Join us at SISM and let your child unleash their potential with passion and purpose!!
At Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and Year 11), SISM adopts a focused approach to examinations, allowing students to prioritize their studies by undertaking six IGCSE subjects. This streamlined approach ensures that students can concentrate on achieving top results in their chosen subjects, without spreading themselves too thin across numerous exams.
For subjects not covered in the IGCSE curriculum, students need not worry about missing out. These subjects are integrated into the prestigious Scholars Programme, where students have the opportunity to delve deeper into their interests and passions in a more comprehensive and enriching manner. Through the Scholars Programme, students can explore a wide range of subjects and extracurricular activities, including traditional arts, creative writing, music, drama, and cultural exchange programs. This holistic approach to education ensures that students receive a well-rounded educational experience, nurturing their talents and fostering their personal growth beyond the confines of traditional academics.
By participating in the Scholars Programme, students not only develop their skills and interests but also cultivate important life skills such as leadership, creativity, and global awareness. The Scholars Programme offers a dynamic platform for students to showcase their talents and achievements, providing them with a competitive advantage in their academic and professional pursuits.
