Citizenship Education@NBSS
At NBSS, we strive to develop in our students a deep understanding and appreciation of Singapore and citizenship in today's complex world. Through engaging learning experiences, we nurture important citizenship dispositions where students explore and examine their identity as citizens in relation to society and the world, and arrive at our shared ideals and values.
Our Citizenship Dispositions
A Sense of Belonging
We help our students develop a deeper understanding of who we are as Singaporeans, and a shared understanding of the values that are important to us as a nation.
A Sense of Hope
Our programmes cultivate confidence and optimism in Singapore's future, building resilience in our students to face the challenges ahead.
A Sense of Reality
Students gain awareness of contemporary realities – including Singapore's constraints and vulnerabilities – which affect us as a nation amidst the backdrop of a less predictable world.
The Will to Act
We empower our students to be active citizens who have a collective resolve and a sense of shared mission towards building a Singapore for all.
Our Citizenship Education in Action


Through our National Education events, student development experiences, and meaningful discussions of contemporary issues, we prepare our students to be leaders of character and others, willing to contribute to Singapore's future.
