Grooming Young Writers
Artistic Strategies Academy is an English writing school based in Singapore, delivering our signature Artistic Writing™ Programme for young writers aged 6 to 14. Developed from the principles of constructivism, Artistic Strategies Academy's signature Artistic Writing™ Programme is a unique and enriching creative writing programme; the first of its kind in Singapore. Instead of outdated rote-learning and memorisation techniques, our programme grooms young writers to draw inspiration from their own artistic creations and produce original written pieces.
Our Story
Claudine Fernandez founded Artistic Strategies because she had seen too many children feeling disenchanted or disinterested with writing based on her extensive experience as a former teacher at the Ministry of Education (Singapore) and International Baccalaureate (IB) teacher at School of the Arts (Singapore). This was mostly due to the fact that they associated writing with boring memorisation and rote learning techniques and felt disconnected from the stories they were made to write. Such a shame, given that writing is such an important lifeskill!
Something had to change. After graduating from Harvard University with a Master Degree in Arts in Education, she found the solution in marrying arts and writing.
Many children love experimenting with different art forms as they are particularly enticed by the dynamic nature of the arts, which allows them to engage in hands-on, interactive and creative activities- instead of sitting behind their desks all the time. When people ask me what is unique about ASA, I tell them that we are not just a writing school. We care deeply about our students’ learning journey and we want to develop them as well-rounded individuals who will thrive in life.
