Explore ASRJC's special programmes, from STEAM Education and Tamil Language Elective to the ASR Scholars Programme and overseas learning trips.
STEAM Education
ASRJC offers an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to learning through STEAM Education. With inquiry at the heart of STEAM Education, we explore themes and issues relevant to our students in an authentic setting across the Sciences, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Students will have the opportunity to plan and run STEAM-related activities. This includes running workshops at our annual ArtScience Festival, a day set aside for all students to explore concepts or real-life issues through an interdisciplinary perspective. Through STEAM Education, we prepare our students to tackle real-world issues and embrace life-long learning.
