Mission

Nurturing Confident Leaders, Active Citizens and Global Thinkers - YTzens for the Future

Philosophy

YTSS is guided by its vision, 'A School of Distinction, A Community of Leaders', and is committed to developing every YTzen to be a Confident Leader, Active Citizen and a Global Thinker. It holds firmly to the belief that every student can and wants to learn, and this translates into a commitment to unlock the potential of every child. The school also places a strong emphasis on cultivating self-discipline and imbuing the core values of Integrity, Respect, Resilience and Gratitude in our students. This student-centric approach in educating our students can also be seen in our curriculum. It is designed and implemented by our caring and professional team of teachers who embrace the core belief of 'leave no child behind'. The curriculum is crafted with the learners in mind and seeks to deepen our students' understanding of the various disciplines, making learning engaging and meaningful for them. Working closely with supportive parents and alumni, as well as the community and other partners in education, there is a strong community of support in YTSS to create a nurturing environment and provide the best learning experience for all
YTzens. The school motto, 'We will Excel' is the guiding beacon for all YTzens and it permeates the school culture. The various awards and
accolades the school is accorded and has achieved are testimonies of our steadfast commitment to excellence.

Students participate in programmes aligned to the YTzen profile that are designed for their holistic development. These programmes teach character education while challenging our students cognitively and physically. Confident Leader: All students participate in the NYAA (Silver) Programme, learning different skill sets and nurturing attributes that ensure holistic development. They also undergo leadership training through the Student Leadership Development Programmes that involve level camps, expeditions and service learning projects. Selected Student Leaders have the opportunities to take part in the Aspiring and Empowering Leaders Programmes to further develop their leadership competencies. NT students develop life skills and vocational skills in the MY LIFE Programme. Active Citizens: Social-emotional competencies are taught through Process Drama and Values@Heart lessons. Classes also plan and carry out Service Learning projects and reflect on our nation's history as they participate in Heritage Trails designed by our teachers. Global Thinkers: The YTSS Cross-Cultural Learning Programmes expand our students'
global outlook while developing their intercultural competencies through local and overseas exchange programmes and learning journey. The
STAR Programmes also challenges our students cognitively through interesting research projects in collaboration with Institutes of Higher
Learning, both local and overseas.
