The stories we tell. The stories you learn from. Our PSLE English programmes are strategically curated and designed to help our students ace their examinations, while gaining educationally transcendental skills. 

A major component in the PSLE English examination is Composition in Paper 1. This is why our curriculum infuses writing strategies in various components, and also come up with regular Composition topics throughout the year based on past-year topics, as well as our predictions of the year’s possible topic. So far, Academia has managed to cover the topic every year without fail, providing our students with ample prep including model essays and vocabulary boosters. These past-year practices are available online via our Learning Management System, Cogito, to all our full-time PSLE students. Academia’s Primary and PSLE Programmes keep the PSLE as an overarching structure while training literary approaches, meta-awareness and critical analysis that is educationally transcendent. Not forgetting: a conscientious and technically intricate linguistic foundation in grammar and vocabulary. Our students are prepped to receive educational dividends for a lifetime. This is educational scaffolding like you’ve never seen before. Speak with us via any of our digital channels to find out more. Below is a list of the past year PSLE Composition topics, with Academia’s rendition of the pictures provided during the examination.
