Pre-University
In SSC Pre-University, we nurture thinkers in action through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), one of the world’s most recognised university qualifications and is renowned for its academic standards and global perspectives. This programme further hones the thinking, research, communication, social and self-management skills of Pre-U SSCians, which are vital in helping them understand how they learn best, and thrive.
In SSC Pre-U, you will often hear about breadth and depth, academic rigor, and strong university preparation. However, it’s more than just grades:
• it’s exploring how you know what you claim to know through Theory of Knowledge (TOK);
• it’s personal development and service through Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS); and
• it’s investigating a topic of interest through the Extended Essay (EE).
This is a transformative journey like no other. To our incoming Pre-U 1, welcome! To Pre-U 2, carry on!
It takes a village to raise a child; thus Parents, join us Teachers as we journey along SY 2024-2025 with your children. SSC’s 14th, here we come!
