Welcome to the Global Perspective Department at our school, where we embark on a journey of understanding and appreciation for the diverse world we live in.

Student Testimonials
At AIMEE, we begin learning the concept without textbooks. We use games, activities, experiments and simulation to learn the concepts. We focus on understanding the concepts instead of memorising the rules and laws. We often go out to see some places related to our subjects. Also, I like that we have many outdoor sports at school that we can choose from.
