GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME
COURSES
For General Public & School Students
Science Arts actively encourages our younger generation to get to know and understand TCM culture and its 5000years of history, so as to pass on TCM knowledge and culture through the generations. In 2006, Science Arts hosted inaugural “TCM Cultural Camp” initiated by the Singapore Ministry of Education. Nearly a hundred students and teachers from higher institutions participated in this event. Through this event, they learnt basic TCM knowledge such as Chinese herbs, acupuncture, tuina massage and TCM diet therapy etc. As students displayed a deep interest in TCM culture and events were well-received, Science Arts TCM College continues to provide learning opportunities to the general public through specially-tailored programs and educational activities.
