General Academic Strand

Why GAS?

The General Academic Strand (GAS) offers students the opportunity to explore a wide range of fields while maintaining flexibility in their academic journey. Rather than focusing on a specific area, the curriculum integrates subjects from Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, and Mathematics, promoting a well-rounded education. This prepares students for various paths in higher education or careers by equipping them with essential critical thinking, communication, and research skills.

GAS encourages students to delve into interdisciplinary learning, allowing them to identify their passions and strengths in diverse fields such as law, education, and business. The strand is built on the idea that students should have room to explore multiple interests and acquire skills that are versatile and applicable in numerous professional settings.

A key component of the GAS is the specialized tracks in Science, Technology, Arts, and Tourism, offering students the chance to immerse themselves in fields aligned with their chosen curriculum. Depending on their specialization, students engage in work immersion programs that provide hands-on experience and exposure to real-world professional environments, making the learning process more dynamic and tailored to their future aspirations.
