Accelerated pathway to a creative career with GEMS (Singapore) in partnership with SCAD
The unique partnership of GEMS (Singapore) and Savannah College of Arts & Design (SCAD) provides university courses and credits, accelerating progress towards your career in anything from Fine Arts and Industrial Design to User Experience.
Designing a path to the creative industries
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 art and design in the last two years of secondary school and is authorised through the IB 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.
Fast track to a successful creative career
This programme develops in your child transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement that will prepare them to succeed in institutions of higher learning and in a rapidly changing world as they pursue their dream career.
Students undertake three IB Diploma Programme (IB DP) courses, core studies and Savannah College of Art & Design courses to fulfil their career-related studies.
