Our Goals

Broadly stated, the guiding principle and philosophy of the SBGE program is to help develop students into lifelong learners with an inherent understanding of knowledge and skills and to be able to anticipate and perceive problems or challenges from different perspectives and solve them effectively.

To nurture global thinkers, who with pride and commitment, steeped in values, to contribute to society with humility and integrity.

The Thinking Framework that cuts across all IP curriculums centred on Critical, Creative and Caring thinking is also adopted for SBGE.

• Critical Thinking
  Critical thinking is the ability to analyse and reason logically. The infusion of critical thinking will permeate in all subjects, it will be infused mainly through processes and metacognition. For example the infusion can be done through engaging students in Socratic dialogue, self and peer assessment.
  
  
• Creative Thinking
  Creative Thinking is the ability to create, innovate and/or adapt. This aspect of thinking will be infused mainly through processes. For example, students could be asked to write report or create web resources or create a comic strip of their investigations.
  
  
• Caring Thinking
  Caring thinking is thinking with heart and personal values. This aspect of thinking will be infused mainly through concepts, processes and metacognition. For example, in the study of history of mathematics and mathematicians, students could be asked to reflect on the contribution of mathematics towards mankind or in learning statistics, students could be asked to work with data that deals with moral/social issues and discuss or reflect on these issues.
  

The consortium adopts a multi-model approach to better meet the needs of gifted students. In addition to curriculum differentiation implemented in classrooms, there is variety of special programs and enrichment activities implemented to further stretch students’ potential.

We seek to provide an education which will groom our students into forerunners and future leaders. In line with the HCI mission, we recognize the diverse contributions that our students will make to society in the near future. The ability to think globally and more importantly, to carry out all tasks with a deep sense of commitment, is areas which we try to inculcate in our students. In this ever-changing world, basic values such as respect, a sense of gratitude and loyalty to one's roots become even more important. Last but not least, we hope that the students we teach will serve the community at large, with a sense of integrity and yet be able to empathize with others, towards a better tomorrow.

In a nutshell, the general goals of the consortium is to plan a program in order to offer a host of opportunities to students to help them develop their leadership potential, and facilitate their contributions to the community, towards nation building.
