Vision
The Science Department’s vision is to develop young citizens who have a heart of care for their living environment. Our students are motivated to learn more about Science, are curious and are able to use a repertoire of Science process skills for making effective decisions.
Approach
The Science programme at Meridian takes direction from the Singapore’s Primary Science Syllabus. The framework of the Science Department’s activities and programmes are represented by three round organic spheres, namely, Knowledge, Understanding and Application; Skills and processes; and Ethics and Attitudes. Like molecules in life, these spheres are vibrant in the academic and non-academic areas at Meridian.
