Develop and Create

  • The Advanced Computer Scientists programme develops students to the next level of programming. Students will now Deep dive into app creation for both iOs and Android, develop the maker in them with our extensive micro:bit curriculum, and model advanced concepts across syntax-based programming to create tangible, real-world products.

  • We have 12 different research areas to expose students to diverse fields of application for coding, ranging from mobile apps development to mathematics to hardware programming. These research areas have been carefully curated by our curriculum team and span across 3 groups:

  • In every course unit, students are presented with thrilling, hands-on problems to solve. With expert guidance from teachers, they'll master the art of analyzing complex issues, breaking them down into manageable sub-problems, and crafting ingenious solutions. This dynamic process not only hones their computational thinking and problem-solving skills but also fosters a profound understanding of practical application.

  • The beauty of our curriculum is not what language we choose to introduce, but the rigorous practice of problem-solving. This also involves creativity, in dreaming up original solutions, and the determination to follow through on a coding project. These perseverance and logical skills are fundamental to all coding languages, and indeed, in life!

  • The ACS program has been a gateway to exceptional achievements for many of our students. They have attained remarkable milestones, securing direct admissions to top secondary schools in Singapore, clinching victories in national coding competitions such as HCIC, IMDA Code Xtreme and National Thinkers Challenge, triumphing in global Minecraft competitions held in Japan, and emerging as champions in prestigious hackathons at MIT. Our program's proven track record stands as a testament to the outstanding development of our students.
