Academic Enrichment

We take pride in providing our students with a variety of opportunities for academic enrichment. Our student-led Edge Talks Programme is just one example of the many ways we encourage our students to pursue their academic interests. We also welcome visits and academic lectures from external speakers to further expand our students' knowledge and understanding.

Our Digital Leaders programme allows students to develop their technical skills, while our senior school essay competition encourages critical thinking and academic writing. Our student-led assemblies provide a platform for students to express their views and opinions, while our EHS Celebration of Collective Cultures promotes diversity and inclusion. Additionally, we offer Model United Nations and many other opportunities for our students to engage with and learn from the wider world around them.

With such a wide range of academic enrichment opportunities available, our students are well-equipped to excel academically and beyond.
