Special programmes in Singapore schools

Applied Learning Programmes, Learning for Life Programmes and MOE elective programmes, with the schools that offer each.

Quick answer

Most MOE primary and secondary schools have an Applied Learning Programme (ALP), which connects subjects to real-world applications such as STEM or languages, and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP), which develops character through areas such as sports, the arts or community leadership. Some schools also offer MOE programmes such as the Music Elective Programme or Language Elective Programme.
