Monfortian Achievers' Programme (MAP)
MAP shapes students into principled, confident individuals through character education rooted in CHRIST values. Explore how AES develops well-rounded learners ready for life.
Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) in AES is also known as Montfortian Achievers’ Programme (MAP)
The school's Montfortian Achievers Programme (MAP) is a character education initiative designed to cultivate socially responsible, confident decision-makers. Grounded in a strong moral compass and CHRIST values, MAP instills the school's philosophy that education is a journey of self-discovery, guiding students toward becoming principled citizens.
MAP lessons and assemblies offer students dedicated time to explore life's meaning and purpose. For instance, during Education and Career Guidance (ECG) lessons, students learn to clarify their thoughts and weigh diverse perspectives to make informed decisions about their future paths.
Importance of Student Voice
Through these interactions and discussions with peers and teachers on current events or personal concerns, AssumptionKnights develop understanding, celebrate similarities, and appreciate differences. These crucial moments propel them towards our school's vision of "becoming people of character and learning," enabling them to make decisions for a higher purpose and ultimately serve the community.

MAP @ AES
The MAP curriculum integrates the 6 content areas of CCE 2021, Sexuality Education (SEd), Education and Career Guidance (ECG), Cyber-wellness (CW), National Education, Family Education and Mental Health. Also, school-initiatives such as Study skills, pro-social skills and Montfortian Ethos are included.
Our lesson packages are built around three interconnected core ideas: Identity, Relationships, and Choices. These concepts profoundly influence one another. Students must understand themselves to build positive relationships. In turn, the relationships they form shape their identity and guide their decisions. Making sound choices then deepens their self-understanding and impacts the quality of their relationships.
Assumption English School is dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals by giving equal importance to academic excellence and character development, preparing our students for lifelong success.
National Education (NE)
National Education (NE) was launched in 1997. As a significant aspect of CCE, NE comprises a wide range of school efforts that aims to:
Provide our students with the knowledge, skills, and values to understand Singapore’s history, realities and challenges unique to our nation, appreciate our journey to nationhood, cultivate the instincts for survival as a nation, and have confidence in our nation’s future.
Be empowering and aspirational, allowing for individual sense-making, so as to nurture engaged citizens, who are socially aware, adept at critical thinking, and informed about local, regional, and global issues.
Help our students experience and explore their national identity as Singaporeans and foster a strong sense of belonging, reality, and hope which motivates our students to play a contributory role in their immediate communities and in the nation while they seek to achieve their personal life goals.
In Assumption English School (AES), AssumptionKnights commemorate the four NE core events: Total Defence Day, International Friendship Day, Racial Harmony Day and National Day. These are the NE events which have been identified as defining moments in Singapore’s history. The aim is to entrench these events and the images they evoke in the consciousness of each successive generation.
