The Pre-Collegiate Program of Yangon

Students at PCP are required to take a wide variety of courses, including English composition, creative writing, psychological science, environmental science, gender studies, religious studies, history, and more. A liberal arts education explores issues, ideas, and methods across the humanities, the arts, and the natural and social sciences. Students will learn to read critically, write succinctly and think profoundly. These skills will enhance PCP students to have interesting conversations in and outside the classroom. It will strengthen their social and cultural analysis as they navigate the world’s most complex issues.

Students at PCP act as an agency of change, working collaboratively with the community to positively impact a social issue or for the public good. Students are expected to engage in civic engagement activities and describe what they learn about themselves and their commitment to public action in the process.

At PCP we teach students how to evaluate and apply diverse perspectives to complex subjects within natural and human systems in the face of even conflicting positions. We encourage students to ask the right questions by examining evidence and factors for their conclusions, underlying reasons, assumptions, and potential fallacies.

PCP recruits and admits minoritized students from different divisions and states all over Myanmar. Students are encouraged to demonstrate adjustment of their own attitudes and beliefs after working within and learning from the diversity of global communities and cultures.

Students are encouraged to demonstrate initiative and apply reflective insights in the classroom discussions and in the multiple and complex civic engagement activities. Students run for class president to lead fellow classmates by representing their voices and advocating for them.
