Its American curriculum draws on cognitive science research into how children acquire, retain and apply knowledge, while a sustained teacher development programme, delivered with faculty from Riverdale and Columbia University’s Teachers College, supports consistent teaching quality.

The learning spaces at the RDAS campus are designed for effective learning as opposed to traditional classroom layouts. Class sizes are capped at 20, giving teachers ample opportunity to understand each student better and provide personalised guidance. The school’s “High Challenge, High Support” philosophy also means students are encouraged to stretch themselves while receiving the support they need to do so.

Stamford American International School

Stamford American International School is Singapore’s only school to concurrently offer the IB Diploma Programme, Advanced Placement, BTEC and Stamford Courses, bringing together families from 75+ nationalities across Early Years through High School.

They question, build and apply it, guided by a faculty with an average of 13 years of teaching experience who bring global expertise and genuine cultural awareness into every classroom.

Counsellors and advisors support every student, and bilingual educators ensure that language or learning differences are never a barrier to belonging. Outside the classroom, students explore real-world challenges across Asia, where culture and curriculum intersect. With more than 70 community events each year, belonging at Stamford American often starts not with a lesson, but with a conversation. Together, these experiences prepare students for top universities and a rapidly changing world.

Tanglin Trust School

Established in 1925, Tanglin Trust School is the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia. As a not-for-profit institution, all fees go towards delivering quality education. Tanglin was also the first school in Singapore to offer a dual pathway of A Levels or the IB Diploma at Sixth Form, tailoring each student’s programme to both their interests and how they learn best. That approach shows in the results: Tanglin’s exam scores consistently beat Singapore and global averages, with around 96% of graduates landing their first or second choice university, many among the best in the world.

Beyond academics, Tanglin offers a wide range of experiences, from its CCA programme spanning Infants to Sixth Form, to top-tier sports facilities, a music scholarship programme, and the recently launched Junior Arts Centre. Students can also take part in the award-winning Year 9 Highlands Programme and The Institute @ Tanglin, its forum for thought leadership.

The Winstedt School

The Winstedt School is built around The Winstedt Way™, a teaching approach that combines differentiated instruction, inclusive practices and whole-child development to support different learning needs. Educators work closely with the school’s in-house Therapy and Pastoral Care team, providing personalised support throughout the school day, including occupational therapy (OT), behavioural therapy (BT), speech and language therapy (SLT) and social-emotional learning (SEL). Winstedt offers a continuous pathway from Primary (Years 1–6) through Secondary (Years 7–13), giving students access to internationally recognised options, including the English National Curriculum, IPC and IMYC, leading up to a WASC-accredited High School Diploma. A new Department of Applied Science now delivers Core Science (Physics, Biology and Chemistry) along with Design and Technology to all students, offering a more integrated, hands-on learning experience and more opportunities for them to explore their interests.

For children aged 6 to 8 who would benefit from additional support before entering Primary school, the school readiness programme provides smaller classes where students can develop key academic and social skills at a pace that suits them. This year, Winstedt also introduced its Global Scholar Programme, giving Secondary students access to accredited U.S. Advanced Placement (AP) and Honours courses in subjects including Environmental Science, Business Studies and Languages through a collaboration with a college in Charlotte, North Carolina. The programme follows a curriculum based on Universal Design for Learning and multi-sensory instruction.

Education level: Year 1 – Year 13 (Primary 1-6 / Secondary 7-13)
