Passion Pursuit
Passion to Pursue Hopes and Dreams
It’s the journey that counts, not the destination. Our students are able to experience the joy of pursuing their passion through various opportunities. It is through passionate exploration that they find their purpose and meaning for life’s journey, and discover their enduring hopes and dreams.
Passion Pursuit provides avenues for high academic achievement, intellectual discovery, leadership excellence and extra-curricular exploration essential to lifelong learning.
SCGS provides an extensive range of activities that provides the breadth which spiral from short exploratory enrichment such as Art Electives and Sabbaticals to extended course of study in the SCGS Academies through Platforms for Exploration and Platforms for Pursuit.
