Our Curriculum Approach
How Do We Teach at YISS? How Do We Teach at YISS?
To support holistic learning of our students and to enable them to draw connections in their learning across subjects, time and space, our school adopts the Parallel Curriculum Model to design our lessons.
There are four components in this model and they can be used individually or combined, depending on the learning objectives and experience for our students. The four components and how they can help address our students’ needs as learners are shown in the illustration.

Features of ALP
Our S4TEM@YI ALP adopts an integrative approach in providing a wide range of learning opportunities for Yusoffians to embrace and engage in STEM learning.
In alignment to the whole-of-nation sustainability movement, our ALP supports and is an extension of the MOE Eco Stewardship Programme (ESP) in Schools.
Our students gain exposure to STEM through school-wide activities, such as those involving urban farming, coding and aeronautics.
Yusoffians will also deepen their critical and lateral thinking skills through their participation in STEM-related curricula activities planned in collaboration with experts from the relevant fields, and in STEM-related competitions.
Our S4TEM@YI ALP provides a conducive environment for Yusoffians to immerse in and be empowered to be future-ready community connectors, making meaningful contributions to STEM-related areas in our society.
