Humanities

Humanities

Vision
Concerned and contributing citizens who are global in outlook and rooted to Singapore

Mission
To develop empathetic, passionate and thoughtful Fuhuanites who contribute positively to society

Approach
The approach to the teaching and learning of Humanities involves:

1. Promoting authentic and experiential learning;
2. Developing analytical and critical thinking through inquiry; and
3. Strengthening disciplinary thinking

Key programmes

(1) Inquiry-based Learning
The department promotes inquiry-based learning in our students through learning experiences. Through these face-to-face and interactive learning experiences, students work collaboratively and can develop their analytical and critical thinking skills. They are also introduced to data and information skills, which include the collection, analysis and representation of data.

(2) Talent Development Programme
The Humanities talent development programme aims to strengthen disciplinary thinking among talented Fuhuanites. It provides opportunities for students to develop a greater interest and passion for the Humanities beyond what is taught in the classroom. This is done through internal school programmes and external competitions such as:

• NUS Geography Challenge

• MOE History Challenge

• NLB Historical Scene Investigation

• NP Social Innovation Hackathon

• Model United Nations
