THE THINKTANK DIFFERENCE

01

THINK SMART

We inculcate independent thought and critical and interrogative thinking, in order to promote self-driven learning strategies and outcomes among our students. We encourage knowledge gains that are motivated by intelligent and innovative solutions. No answer is too absurd, and no solution too inconceivable, when it comes to our inquisitive and open minded approach to growing thinkers and nurturing the global citizens of tomorrow.

02

TEACH TO INSPIRE

We, the ThinkTank educators, seek to energise and engage students in the classroom and beyond. We believe in pedagogies and methodologies that are tried and tested by years of extensive cognitive and emotional research. The result? A refined, sensorial and motivational classroom environment that aims to bring out the best in our students, wherever they may find themselves on the ladder of progress and achievement.

03

TALENT GROWTH

We highly value our students' skills and unique interests, encouraging them to develop a personal voice and individual portfolio of learning milestones, goals and achievements. Each student is different and presents with distinct sensibilities and socio-cultural competencies. Drawing upon existing abilities and specific developmental/learning exigencies, we embolden learners in their journey to explore, discover and ultimately actuate their aptitude.

THE THINKTANK CORE CURRICULUM (ENGLISH) (SECONDARY): Enrollment open for Term 1, 2021

Inspire confidence, articulate global philosophies and communicate masterfully. The Thinktank Core Curriculum (English) (Secondary) empowers students with the narrative craft and expository style to shape their ideas into precise and clear writing.

Drawing upon a thematic approach with topics ranging from politics, philosophy and poverty, to personalities, places and pets, our masterclass focuses on core critical thinking and linguistic skills for IB, IGCSE, O Level and other students.

Our tried and tested approach targets key competencies such as active reading and interpretation, identifying assumptions, arguments, thematic focus and question type(s), summarising, visual and media literacy, as well as characterisation, sensory and socio-emotional sensitivity.

CONGRATULATIONS: To our stellar cohort of Secondary students!
