The Visual Art department believes in developing strong perceptual skills through Visual Art by engaging our students in drawing and painting from direct observation. This will lead to enhanced visual literacy and perceptual awareness in our students, which in turn facilitates their connection with the world around them and make them better learners in all disciplines. This is done through a compulsory art education at the lower secondary years before they proceed to pursue IGCSE Art and Design and IBDP Visual Art. At the School, we have a growing candidature at IGCSE and IBDP.
