P11S – BOT: Robotics
P11S – mBIT: Micro:bitGroup 2: Applied Learning
P11S – AI: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
P11S – CAI: Cognitive Artificial Intelligence
P11S – AR: Augmented Reality
P11S – GM: Game Maker (E.g. Geometry Dash)
P11S – MM: Movie Magic
P11S – MU: Music ComposerGroup 3: Subject-Based Learning
P11S – MaG: Mathematics( Geometry)
P11S – MaM: Mathematics (Measurement)
P11S – BL: Biology
P11S – PH: Physics -
In every course unit, students are presented with thrilling, hands-on problems to solve. With expert guidance from teachers, they'll master the art of analyzing complex issues, breaking them down into manageable sub-problems, and crafting ingenious solutions. This dynamic process not only hones their computational thinking and problem-solving skills but also fosters a profound understanding of practical application.
-
The YCS program has been a gateway to exceptional achievements for many of our students. They have attained remarkable milestones, securing direct admissions to top secondary schools in Singapore, clinching victories in national coding competitions, triumphing in global Minecraft competitions held in Japan, and emerging as champions in prestigious hackathons at MIT. Our program's proven track record stands as a testament to the outstanding development of our students.
-
Our curriculum's brilliance lies not in the language we choose to introduce, but in the relentless cultivation of computational thinking and problem-solving prowess. This captivating journey involves nurturing an analytical mind to dissect challenges into smaller, manageable parts; fostering creativity to envision novel solutions; and instilling the unwavering determination to see coding projects through to completion. These invaluable traits of perseverance and logical acumen transcend coding languages and extend their impact to every facet of life!
Mathematics (Measurement): Create mesmerising rainbow patterns with the magic of math! Ethan combined Mathematics with Coding to create this program that enables users to create mesmerising rainbow patterns (Click image to enlarge)
Movie Magic: Become a movie director and breathe life into your animations! (Click image to enlarge)
Game Maker: Create your very own platformer game. In this project, Zi Heng learned to model gravity using mathematics and applied that to his code to make his character movement look realistic. (Click image to enlarge)

In a learning structure best for your child
Our curriculum are developed with our students learning in mind. Each course has pre-requisites - not because we want to keep it exclusive but because we want to maximise our students learning.
We also have parents in mind when we designed our course logistics - we take care of all the materials and equipment needed so that busy parents can take a breather
Recognising that each student has different learning preference, we have designed our courses to be taught in different modalities and formats - from weekly classes to full day holiday camps. Choose the mode and format which best suits your child’s busy scheduling and learning preference.
