Saint Clare School for Special Education has introduced an innovative Learning Management System (LMS) designed to revolutionise lesson planning and Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) for students with special needs. The system, enhanced by generative AI and leveraging over 15 years of curriculum data, promises to streamline planning, improve teaching efficiency, and strengthen parent-teacher communication.
Developed in collaboration with SOZCODE and guided by Saint Clare’s academic board, the LMS is expected to reduce curriculum development time by 30-50%. Teachers can now input basic learning needs into the system to receive suggested learning goals and lesson ideas, which can be tailored to each student’s unique requirements. Kelvin Ng, co-founder of Saint Clare School, highlighted the system’s potential to provide structured and validated curriculum access, especially in regions lacking special needs education support.
The LMS also features a Single Child View, consolidating each student’s class enrolment, IEPs, therapy records, and communication logs. This allows for more efficient collaboration among teachers, Heads of Department, and leadership teams. Additionally, the system supports student progress tracking and custom analytics, enabling educators to assess IEP effectiveness and refine teaching approaches based on real data.
Looking ahead, Saint Clare School plans to evolve the LMS into a comprehensive special education operating system, with pilot programmes set for late 2025 or early 2026 in Kuala Lumpur and Sabah. This initiative aims to empower schools across Southeast Asia to deliver credible individualised learning support, aligning with Singapore’s high educational standards.
Established in 2007, Saint Clare School has supported over 2,000 students and is recognised for its commitment to quality education. The school is expanding regionally, licensing its curriculum to partners in Malaysia and attracting interest from Indonesia. With this new LMS, Saint Clare School is poised to lead the way in data-driven, inclusive special education.
