Education 5.0 in Practice
The school takes full recognition of the Government's Education 5.0 paradigm, with its major thrust on innovation and industrialisation.
Following the dictates of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Presbyterian High School has introduced commercial farming, horticulture and poultry projects — not only for self-sustenance, but as living teaching environments where learners see theory applied.
This qualifies PHS as an ideal school for the 21st century learner: one who does not only rely on theory, but who is innovative and able to transform education into a tool for sustainable development.
