Secondary School Programme
Empowering the next generation of young scholars through the Nu-Gen Programme — building well-rounded students ready for life beyond the classroom.
Building Well-Rounded Young Scholars
Our Nu-Gen Programme for secondary schools is aimed at improving the post-curricular abilities of participating students, complementing their academic curriculum through exposure to real-life and practical situations and environments — ensuring a truly well-rounded education.
We work with secondary school students between the ages of 10 and 16, offering academic mentorship, scholarship support, competitive activities, excursions, and structured guidance and counselling sessions — all grounded in the ASPIRE core values.
Our selected ASPIRE beneficiaries also receive dedicated one-to-one guidance to shape their academic careers and build their value system in line with our core principles of Acquisition, Service, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect, and Excellence.
