In Peicai, the Humanities programme aims to nurture empathetic students who think critically and contribute meaningfully to society.

Through the various programmes, students are empowered to be:

Connected. He/she communicates effectively, work well in teams and takes responsibility for his/ her own learning.

Empathetic. He/she is a concerned citizen rooted in Singapore, is informed, and takes an active role in bettering the lives of others.

The approach to the teaching and learning of Humanities involves:

• inquiry-based approach to allow students to construct their understanding through purposeful act of identifying problems, asking good questions, collecting data and analysing varied information sources, and

• questioning strategies such as Paul’s Wheel of Reasoning so that students build thinking and reflection schemas to examine information critically.

• discussion strategies such as Socratic Seminar so that students systematically question and examine issues and principles related to a particular content and articulate different points-of-view.
