Every parent hopes that they can raise a healthy, happy and well-adjusted child that will grow up to become successful in the real world. However, if doing well in school alone can no longer guarantee this success, what more can be done?
Educators now agree that the best way to prepare any child for a fast-changing world is to equip him/her with a holistic education.  Such an education would be geared towards maximising the child’s unique strengths and interests and also ensure the child can efficiently adapt and make the right choices in complex situations.
Aligned with, the Singapore Ministry of Education’s 21st-century core competency framework, Flying Cape’s CompassMap provides a diagrammatic view that covers all key components of holistic education and helps you craft a personalised learning path for your children.
