SOTA

Specialised Arts Programme​

SOTA’s Specialised Arts Programmes aim to develop strong artistic capabilities through critical thinking skills, creative awareness, and discipline. Students enrolled in the school specialise in the specific art form they auditioned for. These are dance, film (offered only from Year 5 onwards), literary arts, music, theatre, and visual arts. Each course is designed to help students achieve mastery in their chosen art form.

All Year 1 and 2 students will also have the opportunity to explore and make connections across the different art forms through the Integrated Arts module, and gain a holistic understanding of dispositions in the arts.

Achieving Arts Excellence

Enrichment Programmes

Students are given the opportunity to stretch their exposure and understanding of artistic techniques and craft through workshops and talks by artists and practitioners in the creative industries.

The Arts Excellence Programme (AEP)

The AEP offers advanced learning opportunities to selected students who demonstrate outstanding performance in their specialised art form. Through masterclasses and workshops by prominent artists, as well as participation in competitions and overseas learning journeys, students get to stretch and challenge their learning and art-making.

Arts Plus

This elective is offered to Year 3 and 4 students who display the aptitude and passion to go deeper into their art forms, on top of their regular subjects.

Achieving Arts Excellence

All students are unique. To cater to various learning needs and provide opportunities for artistically talented students, SOTA offers various arts pathways to students at key milestones in their learning journeys, allowing them to focus more deeply on artistic pursuits by adjusting their academic course load. These paths will prepare our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to embark on their journey to higher education institutions and conservatories beyond SOTA. The school will identify students who may benefit from these different trajectories to enable them to fully explore and develop their artistic potential.
