SOTA is scheduled to move to its new city campus at No. 1 Zubir Said Drive by the end of this year, paving another road to a quality arts education in the heart of Singapore’s Arts and Heritage District.

The newly named road commemorates the late Pak Zubir Said who composed Singapore’s national anthem during 1956-57. This is a fitting tribute to an early pioneer of the arts in Singapore as SOTA ushers in a new chapter for Singapore’s arts and education scene at its permanent home come the next academic year.

SOTA’s education approach includes engaging the larger community and providing spaces for growing talent. As such, the state-of-the art, purpose-built campus, conceived as a ‘Laboratory of Creativity’, was designed by award-winning WOHA Architects with open, connective spaces to facilitate an exchange of vibrant energy and ideas between teachers and students, the school and its surroundings, and the community.

The school’s location within Singapore’s Arts and Heritage District also offers unique opportunities for experiential learning and collaboration with key arts education institutions, arts centres, performance venues, museums and arts groups.
