- School Mission
A caring school with an innovative and engaging curriculum, TSS equips our students with the skills for active lifelong learning and inculcates in them core values that will guide them to succeed in a changing world.
- School Philosophy, Culture and Ethos
Guided by our philosophy 'Everyone Is Unique, All Can Succeed', we provide students with rich opportunities to discover and pursue their passion so that they can define success in multiple ways. We strive towards a culture of active learning, ensuring students experience joy in learning that drive their self-directedness. To prepare students for the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, we value the spirit of exploration, cultivating in students the capacity to think critically, creatively and inventively to solve problems. We want them to persevere through challenges and have the flexibility to seize opportunities. All these are grounded on the values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care and Curiosity to Learn that ensure students work collaboratively, exercise leadership and grow to become contributing members of the community.
