The city-state has been increasingly regarded as a lifelong learning hub.

LEARNING WITH FUN

Learning is not just about the written word. It is also about exploring the unexplored. Some learning experiences are best appreciated when encountered first hand. Diving with the sharks, surfing, snowboarding and wall-climbing is just some of the most thrilling activities Singapore has to offer to learn from and experience. With its high concentration of cosmopolitan sights, sounds, attractions, cultural diversity and accessibility, Singapore has something for anyone and everyone to enjoy and learn from. Come July, Tisch School of the Arts Asia conducts summer high school programmes in filmmaking, animation and musical theatre. The Jurong Bird Park offers exciting behind the scenes programmes for students where they can learn how abandoned eggs and chicks are cared for and how the sick birds are treated. The Underwater World offers an enriching ‘Schooling School Educat ional Program’ where teachers can dive into the marine tank and demonstrate how fishes and divers adapt differently underwater. The teachers can also communicate with the students outside the tank with the help of a unique marine communication system! Students are able to embark on a fascinating discovery and overnight stay at the Rainforest Zoo and catch a glimpse into how butterflies, scorpions and stick insects are bred at the Creepy Crawlies & Wildlife and Healthcare Research Center. A school trip to Singapore promises to be fun, exciting as well as truly educational. So be ready to bring home a treasure trove of enriching and stimulating memories.

Among these institutions are internationally acclaimed universities renowned in their specialised fields of education, including INSEAD, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, German Institute of Science and Technology - TUM Asia (GIST-TUM Asia) and Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management.

Pranoti Nagarkar, inventor of the popular Roti Maker arrived in Singapore to pursue her A levels (11th and 12th STD) and acquire a mechanical engineering degree from the NUS. This Indian achiever gained immense popularity amongst the Singaporeans after she bagged the Grand Champion Trophy of the StartUp@Singapore 2009 Award.
