A Community of Support for Our Teachers: Educators’ Growth Circle
STU is excited to announce a new partnership with EdHaven.
EdHaven is a community initiative aimed at providing social support and fostering a sense of community among educators in Singapore. In unison, EdHaven and the STU are pleased to announce the Educators’ Growth Circle.

The Educators' Growth Circle is a facilitated group discussion where educators come together to explore relevant topics, share experiences, and support each other in their personal and professional growth journey. The Educators' Growth Circle is open to all educators in Singapore, including teachers, school administrators, and education professionals. Confidentiality is paramount in our Growth Circles. What is shared within the circle stays within the circle. We foster a safe and supportive environment where participants can freely express themselves without fear of judgment or disclosure outside of the group.
