The QSS Experience provides varied programmes and opportunities to nurture every Queenswayan to become caring, responsible citizens and confident, life-long learners. We harness differentiated approaches to stretch our students' cognitive ability through our programmes. Our English Ingenium and Bilingual Programmes nurtures high-ability students to excel in the English and Chinese languages respectively. The school's Applied Learning Programme in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics develops critical and innovative thinking through inquiry-based, experiential and co-operative learning approaches. It is structured and integrated in our Science and Humanities curriculum. Talented students also hone their critical thinking skills through participation in the Singapore Olympiads and other enrichment activities. The comprehensive Character and Citizenship Education programme nurtures social-emotional attributes and inculcates values and life-long skills. Our extensive CCA, Student Leadership Development and Values-in-Action programmes provide authentic experiential learning opportunities. QSS Lifelong Learning Programme in Sports for Life & Outdoor Education inculcates interest, skills and attitudes for active participation in sports, physical and outdoor activities. Our Student Development Team enhances the quality of school experience with emphasis and attention to values education and students' social emotional needs and development. Students at each level are cared for and mentored by their Form Teachers and Year Heads who oversee the students' holistic development and work closely with the school management team to ensure effective delivery of student-centric, values-driven education.
