Programmes
The GEP caters for the intellectually gifted pupils. All P3 pupils are invited to participate in the GEP identification exercise. Identified pupils join the GEP in P4.
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).
The goals of the GEP that revolve around cognitive, social, moral and emotional development are to:
- develop intellectual depth and higher-level thinking
- nurture productive creativity
- develop attitudes for self-directed lifelong learning
- enhance aspirations for individual excellence and fulfilment
- develop a strong social conscience and commitment to serve society and nation
- develop moral values and qualities for responsible leadership
