In the award-winning The Grove campus of THS, a palpable sense of vibrancy emerges not only from its unconventional designs, but also from the students energised in their exploration of knowledge and mastering of skills.
By harnessing the infinite possibilities of media and technologies, the innovative approaches to teaching and learning at THS inspire and motivate its students to collaborate, create and unlock their full potential.
Within and outside classes at the campus, which reminds people of a dynamic co-working space, students immerse themselves into project-based experiential learning, covering such disciplines as science, history and arts, at the Centres of Excellence featuring cutting-edge technologies and equipment. They include: Marine Science Centre; Media Tech Centre; Blackbox Theatre; recording studio; The Foundry (purpose-built makerspace); and the Black Dolphin sailboat. Student-centred experiential learning complements and enhances THS’s structured teaching of mathematics, reading and writing.
“Students from Grade 1 to high school have access to these centres, in or outside classes,” says media tech teacher Husain Al-Khuzaie, adding that the access encourages students’ creative problem-solving through collaborative projects.
