This year, all our Year 3 students participated in an overseas immersion programme with our partner institutions. We believe that our partnership with overseas arts institutions will broaden our students’ horizons and develop in them a global perspective. Establishing warm ties with these institutions is one of the ways in which SOTA works towards becoming a platform for international arts education exchange and the sharing of good practices.
