APSN Delta Senior School
About Us
APSN Delta Senior School (DSS) is an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) since 2008. Training in one of four areas of specialisation is offered to students in the Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) programme. These include Food & Beverage, Hotel and Accommodation Services, Horticulture and Retail Operations.
Students who require a longer runway to strengthen their readiness for the workplace are placed in the LEAD programme, where they receive training in work, life and computer skills. Students’ vocational training and preparation for adulthood and employment is augmented by the strong support given in the key learning areas of Literacy, Numeracy, Fitness and Health and Character and Citizenship Education.
APSN DSS also provides students platforms to be socially responsible citizens who contribute to their families and community. There are multiple opportunities within the curriculum for students to apply and showcase their strengths, abilities, talents and gifts.
