New Senior Secondary Curriculum (NSS)
As the NSS curriculum is implemented, many teachers are seeking ways to help students engage in meaningful, curriculum-related activities. While Crossroads’ experiential programmes connect to all aspects of the NSS, teachers have shown particular interest in those relevant to Liberal Studies, OLE, English and Life-Wide Learning.
Liberal Studies
Many of the simulations connect directly to Liberal Studies modules. Curriculum support material, with pre- and post- lesson plans, is also available for some of our more popular programmes.
OLE
Volunteer service opportunities are available in support of the OLE objectives.
Language studies
Although many x-periences are available in Chinese, many language teachers prefer the English option, since it offers students use of the language in an environment where it is naturally spoken.
Life-Wide Learning
Many of the programmes at Crossroads also help to encourage the concept of life-wide learning.
