MAPLE LEAF TIMES

In today’s rapidly changing world, students need more than traditional education. To thrive, they require essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability—skills vital for navigating technological advances, global challenges, and complex problems.

Recognising this, Canadian International School (CIS) developed their STEAM educational approach 10 years ago. The CIS STEAM approach integrates five key disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. It encourages students to explore these subjects in a hands-on and creative way, helping them develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and teamwork. By blending the technical and creative aspects of learning, STEAM prepares students for real-world challenges and inspires them to think critically across different disciplines.The CIS STEAM

Legacy
CIS was the first school in Singapore to adopt the STEAM educational approach, highlighting the interconnected strands of scientific inquiry with technological application, the problem-solving of engineering, artistic creativity, and mathematical modelling. Over the past decade, CIS has refined and advanced their approach, building STEAM into their curriculum and teaching philosophy, and establishing themselves as thought leaders in the field.

The STEAM approach empowers CIS students with problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills essential for success in today’s fast-changing world. As CIS continues to lead the field as a STEAM school, their STEAM 2.0 initiative integrates cutting-edge advancements like AI-based learning and innovative teaching methodologies to enhance and enrich students' learning experiences.
