About this course

Choosing the right career at a tender age of 16 or 17 can be a with challenging task. Many students are left with the difficult task of making that choice without being sufficiently equipped with the necessary details to make an informed choice.

To provide good quality Pre-University education that prepares the students to meet the demands of undergraduate study

To incorporate a certain degree of flexibility where students can make their choice of selecting a discipline at a later stage rather than at the beginning of the course

Subjects such as Study Skills and Critical Thinking Skills are added to give the students an edge over others

Extra-curricular activities as well as good pastoral care are emphasized to ensure that students obtain a holistic education

To provide a conducive environment for study as well as to equip them with excellent facilities
