Singapore as a Smart Nation<\/h2>\n
\u200dSingapore’s digital-first vision<\/a> is one that aims to transform the nation through technology. Through digital services offered, citizens are able to perform tasks such as banking, improve health and wellness, transact business, and more in a fraction of the time previously required. Increased efficiency, higher levels of safety and the ability to reach beyond Singapore\u2019s city limits are only a few of the outlined objectives. Others include:<\/p>\n \u25cf Improved digital literacy across the board<\/p>\n \u25cf Digital accessibility to everyone in Singapore<\/p>\n \u25cf Widespread adoption of technology by businesses and organisations<\/p>\n \u25cf Digital tools that are inclusive to all who wish to use them<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Of course, as Singapore grows and develops in digital technology, it’s the youngest citizens who stand to reap the most benefit. By making digital-first technology a priority, the island nation also sets the onus on the education sector to continually adapt in order to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n To tap into the future of education, a smart campus is a prime example of being in tandem with the world of tomorrow.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n A smart school aims and delivers better student learning outcomes, helping them to accomplish over and above academic excellence. To compete successfully in this new, technologically advanced world, students must practise other skills as well, including:<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n \u25cf How to be a good global citizen<\/p>\n \u25cf How to take ownership of their learning<\/p>\n \u25cf How to create and innovate<\/p>\n \u25cf How to communicate effectively with others<\/p>\n \u25cf How to think critically and solve problems<\/p>\n \u25cf How to work well as a member of a team<\/p>\n \u25cf How to use technology efficiently<\/p>\n \u25cf How to become a life-long learner<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n \t\t These students are encouraged to work in open, collaborative spaces. They use technology to connect with teachers and students in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n They tackle real-world problems and apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-life scenarios. And they engage in high-quality learning, which is engaging, experiential and diverse. As a result, these students are well placed to succeed in a post-secondary-school environment, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n As students at the GIIS SMART Campus in Singapore,<\/a> children are nurtured for a 21-st century world. The ability to change and innovate at a second’s notice is key to succeeding. Taking ownership of learning and academic progress, mastering technology and innovations and becoming empathetic, compassionate leaders is at the heart of GIIS.<\/p>\n To meet these goals, the Campus features state-of-the-art facilities with cutting-edge technology and trained educators. Along with teaching students how to use digital tools, our highly-qualified and experienced educators also focus on the principles of digital responsibility.<\/p>\n The GIIS SMART Campus offers multiple international curricula and an Indian curriculum to allow students to thrive through their individual learning styles. Our holistic educational framework, the 9 Gems pedagogy<\/a>, looks beyond academic prowess, laying a significant emphasis on sports, visual and performing arts, creativity, entrepreneurship, community care and more.<\/p>\n Our students learn from educators who are at the top of their field and who model the same values<\/a> we expect from our student body. Progress is measured using data analytics that record both academic and personal development. Classes are held indoors, outdoors, online, in common areas and in collaborative groups as needed.<\/p>\n Students are encouraged to work well independently and in teams to accomplish goals, and values such as hard work, leadership and community care are promptly rewarded.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Some of the advantages students enjoy at our smart campus include digital classrooms with smartboards that double up as whiteboards, projectors, audio-visual systems, high-speed wi-fi connectivity, remote and hybrid learning options, more than 40 skills-based studios to allow students to explore a range of interest areas and a variety of extracurricular and co-curricular options.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5dcd55e0046a8a43b6f6e2a1\/62064ad04141586634c86740_smart.jpg\")
