AES Self Development Programme (SDP)
AES Self-Development Programme is our signature programme offered to Secondary 1 N(A), 1 N(T), 2 N(A) and 2 N(T) non-SBB and 2 E students. It provides these students the choice and opportunity to access and study Lower Secondary Science, Humanities, English, Literature or Mathematics subject at a more demanding level.
The AES SDP students will have to go through a period of 2 to 6 months of self-directed online learning programme (Part 1 & 2) which requires about 1 to 2 hours a week per subject to complete the lesson packages and the self-assessment quizzes. A guide will be provided to navigate the learning resources in the respective online curriculum sites.
The objectives of AES SDP:
- To encourage students to be independent and self-directed learners.
- To recognise the strengths and interests of our students, to build their confidence and develop an intrinsic motivation to learn for life in them.
- To stretch their learning in the area of Science, Humanities, Mathematics and English Language.
