General Arts Programmes

The General Arts (Art/Music) Programmes, or GAP (Art) and GAP (Music) in JH1 and JH2 aim to provide an enriched learning experience as part of students’ holistic development. All lower JH students are introduced to key concepts and skills in both art and music, and progressively develop a deeper understanding of these aesthetic domains.

GAP (Art) and GAP (Music) are designed to help students see art or music not just as a subject, but as lenses through which they interpret and shape their understanding of the world. Students also develop an awareness of how art and music influence and are influenced by the social and cultural contexts in which they live. Through this learning, students are encouraged to use art and music as forms of self-expression and communication.

Guided by passionate teachers trained in these disciplines, students learn through discovery within an inclusive and supportive environment. The programmes focus on nurturing curiosity, creative expression, collaborative learning, strengthening visual and aural literacy, and fostering cultural appreciation. Opportunities for inquiry and collaboration are embedded within lessons to enrich students’ learning experiences and cultivate a lasting appreciation of the arts.
