Ellena Young: M2 Academy

Not sure where to go after Secondary School or Poly/JC?

Let me introduce to all of you a school that's situated conveniently in the heart of Orchard Road!
(P.S: Read 'till the end of the post for a giveaway!)

M2 Academy is in collaboration with the University of South Australia (UniSA), recognised globally as one of Australia’s rising stars and offers a wide variety of programmes ranging from Business, Commerce to Engineering.

More details about the specific programmes can be found here.

The school is located on the 8-11th floor of Orchard Gateway@Emerald, which is right opposite 313@Somerset! There is an apparel store at the basement and food halls on the 4th & 5th floor which students of M2 Academy might get a discount at as well.

The best thing about the location is that if boredom strikes during breaks, students could just head over to Somerset to do some shopping, take a stroll in town or get some Starbucks! Town has all the facilities that one might need and they are all within an arm's reach!

Now, are you ready to see how the school looks on the inside?

Take this virtual tour with me from the time I visited M2 Academy!

They even have many ipads placed for students to use!

Super handy.

M2 Academy implements the flipped classroom approach, which is different from the usual lecture-and-tutorial style of learning.

Instead of having in-school lectures and homework, (yes, you read that right, no more homework!) students watch video lectures online and assignments are now done in class with teachers offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students.

Super cool sofas with many hidden electrical sockets where students can plug in their laptops and study at!
This school is very technology-driven! Plus, there is also free wifi that all students at M2 can have seamless access to!
(That's right, no more memorizing troublesome student passwords)

And now for my favorite part of M2 Academy..

Their classroom with the amazing view of Orchard at the back!

Imagine studying in a classroom with that view!

Beautiful, isn't it? :)

With the rest of the bloggers who went for the event!

And did I mention.. M2 Academy also has hoodies, T-shirts and even snapbacks available for students?

M2 Academy makes sure that students are connected and that they learn a set of skills to find out what they want to do in their life!

And on top of everything, M2 Academy also organizes Flea Markets, have 3D Printing, and even movie nights!! I swear, this is probably the coolest school that I've ever heard of and seen.
