International Immersion Programme

Through the immersion program, students experience new cultures and develop new understanding of their place in the world. They are given the opportunity to be ambassadors of the school and at the same time develop self- resilience.
With the emphasis on developing 21st Century Competencies (21CC), the school aims to develop Unitian’s global awareness and cross-cultural skills. Overseas learning journeys are powerful learning experiences for the students to reflect and deepen their commitment and rootedness to Singapore. Visits from overseas schools offer opportunities for cultural exchange as they learn about each other's cultures, traditions, customs, and ways of life.

Through the International Immersion Programme, Unitians will:

1） Develop 21st Century Competencies of Global Awareness and Cross-Cultural skills and sensitivities.

2）Develop Communication and Collaboration skills as well as Critical Thinking in understanding the development of visiting countries and Singapore.

3）Strengthen their Commitment and Rootedness to Singapore.
