As the world’s largest and most respected university specializing in aviation and aerospace, Embry-Riddle has been at the forefront of ground-breaking aeronautical milestones since the early days of flight.
The unique partnership of GEMS (Singapore) & Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University provides freshman courses and credits, accelerating progress towards a career in anything from aviation, aeronautics and aeronautical engineering to business management, cybersecurity and finance.
The programme is designed for students from 16 to 19 years old who wish to combine academic study with career-related learning in the field of aviation in the last two years of secondary years and is authorised through the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IB CP).
Students engage with a rigorous study programme that genuinely interests them while gaining transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement.
A career-related study supports the programme’s academic strength and provides practical, real-world approaches to learning. Students are provided with an opportunity to specialise in Grade 11, spending up to 70% of their time working in their field of choice.
By blurring the lines between the school and universities, we provide our students with an exciting opportunity to combine academic study with career-related practice, helping to broaden their horizons and excel building on their passions.
Students undertake three IB Diploma Programme (IB DP) courses, core studies and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University courses to fulfil their career-related studies*. IB CP certificate and career-related skills are highly valued as university entrance credentials.
Through applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication and crosscultural engagement, your child will be well prepared to succeed at institutions of higher learning and will gain transferable and lifelong skills.
