- General Papers, IP
Advance Level General Paper aims to allow students to develop the ability to think critically and construct coherent arguments.
Transiting from textbook learning to making sense of the world, we provide ample opportunities for students to find connections in learning by sparking their curiosity from real-time current affairs. When one is curious, they will delve further into asking deeper questions on the underlying issues of a subject matter. Ardent learners will take initiative to read from different sources; reflecting on what they have read and heard which facilitates authentic critical thinking practice.
