NorthLight School helps students rebuild confidence after academic failure

NorthLight School in Singapore helps students who failed the Primary School Leaving Examination rebuild their confidence through a supportive educational environment.

Principal Sung Mee Har says many students arrive at the school feeling hurt by their academic results. The school provides a vocational path that combines literacy and character education with practical skills training. Teachers act as job coaches to help students prepare for adulthood and the workforce.

Students participate in real work attachments and practical classes in hospitality, retail, and facilities services. This approach helps students find purpose while receiving welfare support. The school aims to help students become happier and more hopeful as they progress through their studies.
