LASALLE’s commitment to students and to Singapore’s national goal to be a global schoolhouse is evident in the continued internationalisation and development of our teaching faculty and curricula.

“The future of our students is located in our ability to organise an international learning environment championing practice-based arts education; one, which is plugged into the dynamism of the global creative order. It is important to embrace change as a precept of the global creative order as conventional and traditional concepts of teaching and learning are fast evaporating in the face of interdisciplinarity and integration.

LASALLE has provided the faculty, students and I the opportunity to engage with, through facilitation and participation, the changing fields of cultural and educational practice. In so doing, we foster a creative partnership amongst faculty, students and the international creative community for a common global education in the creative arts. It keeps us ahead of the game.”
