Curriculum Overview
ACS(P) ICT curriculum is designed to provide students with a foundation in digital literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving and creativity. It is structured to ensure that students progressively build their ICT skills, starting from the basics and moving towards more advanced concepts as they advance through their primary school years.
ACS(P) aims to build digital fluency through:
-
Digital Literacy – Navigating digital devices, using applications, and practising digital safety.
-
ICT Baseline Competencies – Ensuring that students meet the necessary ICT baseline skills and competencies at each grade level, empowering them to learn effectively in technology-enhanced learning environments.
-
Information Literacy – Helping students develop the skills to find, evaluate, and use information from various digital sources responsibly.
-
Coding & Computational Thinking – Introducing problem-solving through coding activities.
-
Cyber Wellness – Teaching students about online safety, privacy, and responsible online behaviour through our Cyber Wellness programme, in collaboration with Student Development Department and Character and Citizenship Education Department.
Tech-Enabled Teaching & Learning Our teachers integrate technology to enhance learning through:
-
Blended Learning – Combining traditional and digital methods for a dynamic experience.
-
Flipped Classrooms – Encouraging self-paced learning before class discussions.
-
Project-Based Learning – Using digital tools for real-world problem-solving.
School & Parent Collaboration We provide a technology-rich environment that extends learning beyond the classroom. Parents play a key role, and we support them through workshops and resources to help them engage with their child’s digital education.
Key ICT Programme
-
ICT Baseline Programme (Primary 1–6): The ICT baseline competencies are benchmarks that ensure our students are on track with their ICT skills. These lessons are taught in a blended format, through interactive in class lessons as well as online self-directed learning packages. These competencies are aligned with skills that are needed during ICT-infused curriculum lessons and serve as a roadmap for students to develop their digital skills progressively. Some skills are Touch typing, Document processing apps, and Presentation apps.
-
Cyber Wellness: Our Cyber Wellness programme is an important part of our ICT curriculum. It focuses on teaching students how to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Through interactive self-learning packages, students learn about online etiquette, cyberbullying, and how to protect their personal information.
-
Coding & Computational Thinking (Primary 4 & 5): Conducted in collaboration with IMDA, this programme introduces block-based coding and logical thinking.
-
Digital currency (Primary 5): Conducted in collaboration with IMDA, this programme introduces students to current trends in technology, for example AI concepts.
Learning Beyond Borders
-
e-Internationalisation Programme (Primary 5): Connecting students with overseas peers through virtual exchanges to foster cross-cultural learning and global citizenship.
At ACS(P), we leverage ICT to inspire curiosity, collaboration, and innovation, to educate them to be effective and responsible digital learners, in preparing our students for an ever-evolving digital future.
