Objectives:

Through our Brother Chanel Programme, we strive to nurture effectively bilingual Marists who will be active learners and proficient users of both languages. Marists will develop a deeper appreciation of and live out Chinese culture, while demonstrating cultural sensitivity. With a strong national identity and global perspective, Marists will become Gentlemen who will serve Singapore in the future. As a full school, we offer a distinctive 10-year SAP programme at Maris Stella High School.

For the first six years in the Primary Section, our area of focus will be “走近（文化）”. We aim to provide a values-driven, holistic education through extensive and authentic learning experiences in Chinese language and culture.

For the next four years in the Secondary Section, our area of focus will be “走进（文化）”. Marists will be able to deepen their knowledge, skills and proficiency in areas of interest related to Chinese culture and bilingualism. Our Brother Chanel Programme seeks to achieve student outcomes through the school culture and curriculum. Our curriculum consists of a broad-based curriculum that every Marist will experience, as well as a talent development curriculum that enables Marists with specific strengths to further deepen their knowledge.

Our Broad-Based Curriculum includes the Xiao Bai Long School Textbook (小白龙) as well as cultural experiences. These experiences include:

  • P1: Chinese Drums

  • P2: Wushi

  • P3: Chinese Opera
