Rationale

Being a school that specialises in Math and Science, there is a need for NUS High School to provide a platform where young minds can be nurtured and developed to their fullest potential. This includes the identification of primary school students with exceptional aptitude in math and science, and providing a suitable learning environment where they are able to experiment, explore and excel.

Objectives

The Talent Development Programme (TDP) – EINSTEIN Club is the school’s outreach for the gifted Primary School students in Mathematics & Science. It aims to develop and spur identified primary school students to achieve greater success through various hands-on enrichment activities, and mentorship programmes with our existing EINSTEIN+ members.

Einstein Club Selection Criteria

The club seeks to attract primary school students who are talented in Math and Science. We invite the students to join the club from an array of sources, such as some of the Math and Science competitions that NUS High organizes. We also warmly welcome members from the public who wish to sit for the diagnostic test to join the club.
