A team of dedicated teachers and ARC(S) autism consultants is currently developing the Eden curriculum. Upon completion, it will be the first of its type in Singapore.
Our curriculum addresses the unique impairments caused by autism.
The primary goal of our Eden curriculum is to provide an educational experience that will empower our students with autism to live productive and fulfilling lives with the greatest degree of independence that they are capable of achieving.
Unique Features of the Curriculum
Our Eden curriculum aims to prepare our students with autism for their adult lives i.e.
To be able to care for their own personal needs
To participate in routine social interactions in the community
To be able to transition between different activities and locations
To undertake meaningful vocational jobs consistent with their skills & abilities
