Gifted Education Programme (GEP) 

Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) has been one of the primary schools that offer the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) since 1985. The GEP in ACS(P) is anchored on the school’s twin pillars of intellectual development (Cognitive Domain) and character building (Affective and Social Domains). Students’ intellectual potential is developed in a nurturing environment through a curriculum that is built on the regular curriculum but enriched in depth and breadth.

The GEP curriculum is differentiated in terms of content, process, product and learning environment. It provides opportunities for content mastery, creativity, critical thinking and character-building through Character and Citizenship Education, English Language, Mathematics, Mother Tongue Language, Science and Social Studies.

GEP Goals and Values

GEP curriculum goals: cognitive and affective

Cognitive Goals

Affective Goals

  • To develop intellectual depth and higher-level thinking

  • To nurture productive creativity

  • To develop attitudes for self-directed lifelong learning

  • To enhance the child’s aspirations for individual excellence and fulfilment

  • To develop a strong social conscience and commitment to serve society and nation

  • To develop moral values and qualities for responsible leadership

GEP Values are based on R3ICH

Our GEP values of Adaptability, Independence, Humility, Commitment, Discipline, Excellence, Loyalty and Interdependence are built upon the 6 Core values of R3ICH, that also form the core of the MOE 21st Century Competencies Framework

A circular ring divided into segments labeled with values: Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Care, Harmony, Resilience, and related words.
