Crest Secondary School is a Specialised School for Normal (Technical) (SSNT) students in Singapore. It offered both academic and vocational learning for students. It commenced its first year of operation in January 2013. [1]

Contents

The school engages the Normal (Technical) students through a curriculum that largely integrates the academic learning often experienced in mainstream schools as well as the vocational training done in Singapore's Institute of Technical Education (ITE). [2]

Enrolment

Unlike the mainstream way of being posted to a shortlisted secondary school by the Ministry of Education, students must apply directly to Crest Secondary School after their Primary School Leaving Examination. [3]

Curriculum

The school teaches Normal (Technical) subjects like mathematics and science and skill-based subjects. [4]

The school also provides an Industry Experiential Programme for their secondary three students. It is a four-week work attachment for their vocational modules which leads to a ITE Skills Subject Certificate. [5]

Staff

The school's staff is not assigned by the MOE but signed up to teach at the school. [5]
