(firmenpresse) - SINGAPORE -- (Marketwired) -- 03/25/15 -- (Stamford American) has collaborated with Bloomberg -- a first for any high school in Asia -- to launch its new Innovation Center today, complete with an exciting Innovation Curriculum.
With the newly launched Innovation Center, the latest milestone in the school's legacy of progressive education, Stamford American aims to provide students with real-world exposure to the business and financial world -- equipping students with analytical skills and business acumen from an early age.
"At Stamford American International School, our mission has always been to provide excellent education with cutting-edge facilities, teaching methods and learning environments. We are excited to embark on this pilot phase of our Innovation Curriculum -- setting a new benchmark for excellence in international education in Singapore," said Mr Malcolm Kay, Superintendent, Stamford American.
The Center includes a financial laboratory equipped with the Bloomberg Professional service, the leading information platform used by over 320,000 financial professionals worldwide. Stamford American students can now access news stories as they break, perform market analysis, compare investment strategies and analyze specific companies, all within a guided academic environment.
