Citizenship Education (CCE)

CCE is at the heart of education in Singapore. Through CCE, students learn values, social-emotional competencies, and develop character and citizenship dispositions that enable them to grow holistically and learn for life.

In AI, we value the holistic development of every student. The school has implemented the CCE curriculum to anchor AI students on a strong foundation of moral values, good character and resilience. This is in alignment to our mission to grow students with strength of character, nurture inquiring and disciplined minds and inspiring them with courage to lead and serve. We will also encourage AI students to play a more active role as citizens of Singapore as they care, learn and excel for AI and for the nation.

Goals

CCE 2021 aims to inculcate AI students with good character who have a sound moral compass and a strong sense of right and wrong. The AI student will be able to think critically and ethically, be discerning in judgment and take responsibility for his/her own choices and actions.

Students will also demonstrate resilience when faced with challenges and enhance their social- emotional well-being through a balanced sense of self and healthy relationships with their peers.

In addition, AI will promote active citizenship based on a sense of belonging to the nation, a sense of hope in themselves and the future, an awareness of the reality of Singapore’s vulnerabilities and constraints, and the will to act on improving the lives of others, and building a future for our nation.

Lastly, we aim to prepare AI students to be future ready by developing the dispositions of adaptability and lifelong learning so students will be able to navigate education and career pathways purposefully and take on the challenges of the future. There are several learning platforms where CCE is enacted with intentionality. These include CCE lessons during curriculum time, key Student Development Experiences (SDEs) beyond the classroom, school-based initiatives, teachable moments during other subject lessons, and learning opportunities beyond school.
