National Education is part of a holistic education. It aims to develop national cohesion, cultivate the instinct for survival as a nation and instill in our students, confidence in our nation's future. It also emphasizes on cultivating a sense of belonging and emotional rootedness to Singapore.

Jing Shan Primary has adopted a two-pronged approach in the cultivation of national instincts among pupils: First, to develop an awareness of facts, circumstances and opportunities facing Singapore, so that they will be able to make decisions for their future with conviction and realism.

Second, to develop a sense of emotional belonging and commitment to the community and nation. This approach is amply captured in the phrase "engaging hearts and mind".
