Looking for an international preschool, primary or secondary school? It’s a big decision! We’ve put together a list of international schools in Singapore for easy reference.

Singapore’s international school landscape is vast, and there are plenty of great options to choose from. Although many families will be drawn to a school that offers the same language and/or curriculum as schools in their home country, the multicultural, multi-national atmosphere here means many international schools in Singapore offer programmes with a more global context that’s not restricted to a single nationality (while some offer bilingual programmes too). Read on to find out what makes each international school special – we focus on curriculum, nationality breakdown and more. If you even more info, be sure to check out our comprehensive Sassy Mama Schools Tool, which allows you to search by location, compare up to three international schools and get detailed info on nationality demographics, school fees and more!

Tanglin Trust School

As the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia, the not-for-profit Tanglin Trust School caters to international students between the ages of 3 and 18. Consistently graded as “Outstanding” by BSO (British Schools Overseas) inspectors, this award-winning international school in Singapore has a unique 3-14 curriculum framework that begins at Nursery. At a later stage, students have the option to sit for their (I)GCSE exams from multiple exam boards such as Edexcel, Cambridge, AQA and CCEA. It is also the only international school in Singapore to offer both the A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme in Sixth Form. Both programmes have yielded outstanding academic results, and 97% of Tanglin’s graduates are accepted into their first or second choice of university. In August 2021, Tanglin launched the Tanglin Forest School Programme, for learners from as young as nursery. This connects effectively with the Curiosity Approach, where Tanglin was the first school in Asia to receive this accreditation. This approach encourages children to use authentic materials, appreciate the natural environment and use learning spaces as the “third teacher”. These two long-term approaches for early childhood will complement each other to support play, exploration, awe and wonder in play and learning.
