Safety and security is extremely important to us. It is our top priority and we ensure that:

• Students are under adult-supervision at all times. They are either with their Teaching Assistants in the classroom or with their Resident Coaches outside the classroom. The Resident Coaches are same-gender as the student and they stay with students in the residence.
• All buildings have 24X7 security and the campus is extremely safe with all exit points manned at all times.
• We identify and connect with the nearest hospital(s). Their staff is instructed and aware about the summer programme, so they will be ready for any emergency. There is also an ambulance service if required. There is a doctor-on-call available throughout the day at the hospital who is dedicated to only the ASSET Summer Programme.
• Detailed medical history forms are collected from students and we ensure all their medical needs are properly taken care of for e.g. any allergies, regular medication, ongoing health condition etc.

We have subject experts with in-depth knowledge and understanding of each course being offered. All these experts are also experienced teachers. See the instructor profiles on our website for more information. Each course has between 8 and 20 students. This ensures individual attention is given to every student and also gives enough opportunity for each student to share their opinions during classroom discussions.

Benefits of the programme include:

• Personal and academic development
• Personalised attention in the classroom due to small class sizes
• Peer-learning and networking among like-minded students (who are also gifted)
• Social development in terms of dealing with day-to-day issues
• Development of a growth mindset (a realisation that challenges still exist in learning and understanding but with perseverance they can be overcome)

Even though there are common exercises/activities during the course, the learning of each student is independent of each other. We maintain a healthy student to teacher ratio so each student learns at his/her pace. Our instructors are trained and have experience dealing with students so they are well-equipped to handle peer issues.
