The P.I.A.G.E.T 12-Year Education Journey (P12YEJ) comprises – 1 direction, 3 pillars, 6 over-arching objectives, 12 milestone programmes, and 1 leadership platform.
1 Direction
P12YEJ provides an integrative and iterative journey that moves all students towards one direction – to become P.I.A.G.E.Tians. Both academic and non-academic programmes are integrated in a manner that supports the holistic development of the child. And each programme builds upon earlier programmes, bringing about an iterative experience towards a virtuous cycle of growth.
3 Pillars
P12YEJ strives to deliver the three pillars of P.I.A.G.E.T Education:
- The development of character
- The cultivation of life skills and well-being
- The quest for academic excellence
6 Over-arching Objectives
P12YEJ identifies 6 over-arching objectives that are instrumental in a child’s 12-year education journey with us. Through our field experience and research on the development of a child, every 2-year period will feature one among other over-arching objectives.
