The Learning Lab

The Learning Lab runs academic enrichment and tuition programmes for pre-primary, primary, secondary and pre-tertiary students.

The Learning Lab also offers preparatory classes for the Gifted Education Programme screening test and selection test. The Gifted Education Programme caters to the top 1% of each academic year and introduces added curriculum topics and components for high-achieving students within Singapore's education system.

Similarly, preparatory classes for the Direct School Admission (DSA) programme are part of The Learning Lab lessons for Upper Primary students. Along with the PSLE, the DSA programme offers students entry into top Integrated Programme schools.

The Learning Lab has eight[1] centres across the island, and is headquartered in United Square.

The Learning Lab takes in students from Singapore. The Learning Lab places emphasis on getting their students into the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) and the admission to the Integrated Programmes.

The centre’s students have gained admission into the best universities globally. Many have been successfully admitted into the much sought-after medical, business and law schools.

In the 2017 PSLE, 52% of The Learning Lab students attained a T-score of 250 and above. 9 out of every 10 of their students scored an A or A* in their English, Chinese, Math and Science exams.

From 2012, the Ministry of Education declined to name the top PSLE students and correspondingly, The Learning Lab has not released specific data, although it did share that it had produced the top students in 2012 as well as in 2013.

Curriculum at The Learning Lab is designed by a team of 50 in-house curriculum specialists. In addition to being hired based on academic merit in their field of content expertise, curriculum specialists are also assessed in terms of their ability to think and write critically.

The curriculum management units are organised along subject and age-group lines. These curriculum management units generate its proprietary teaching materials and case studies in the English, Math, Science and Chinese subjects. Lesson materials often include articles from international publications such as The New York Times', The Atlantic, TIME Magazine as well as academic journals and publications.
