Drawing on internationally recognised curricula, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and Design Technology approaches, this pathway to design thinking equips pupils with strong creative and problem solving skills for today’s fast changing technological world

Our young creators will gain hands-on experience in product design, architecture, interior design, educational game design, and digital media. They will master the art of bringing ideas to life across multiple creative disciplines.

Students will explore design history, marketing fundamentals, visual communication, human user-centric approaches, aesthetics, and branding. They will build the strategic mindset needed to create meaningful, impactful designs.

Pupils will apply design principles to develop innovative solutions for medical challenges, environmental sustainability, humanitarian crises, and sustainable human life cycles. They will learn to design with purpose and impact.

Our learners will master a large variety of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, website and app design, coding, robotics, automation, and AI integration. They will bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution in the digital age.
Our comprehensive curriculum blends design thinking, problem-solving, and technical expertise to address real-world challenges.
