Top International Schools Companies in Singapore

Overview

Structured international schools network within the country; foreign expatriates provided with a range of educational opportunities

Singapore has always acted as an important hub for international business and regularly welcomes foreigners into the city for work. Whether it be for short-term reasons or long-term settlement, the country has a steady flow of foreigners being welcomed in.

Offering 51 international schools, the little island of Singapore provides students with a dynamic opportunity for international K-12 education. The curriculum varies from British/IGCSE to International Baccalaureate (IB), and the international schools sector has proved to be an established and thriving one.

Under the IB programme, students are provided with four segments:

Primary Year Program - designed for ages 3-12 years and revolves around inquiry-based learning with individual subjects.

Middle Year Program - provided for ages 11-16 years and offers eight subject groups with a minimum of 50 hours each. The program enables students to connect education and the real world.

IB Diploma - catering to ages 16-19 and provides only six subject groups. The lessons are structured around independent research and community service projects within the educational curriculum.

IB Career Program - a more vocational-based segment that focuses on career-related education in addition to the IB Diploma.

The IB program was initiated in 1977 and today, one or more of the four IB programs is offered by 33 international schools in Singapore. Additionally, 24 international schools within Singapore provide a Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, which is flexible and provides students aged between 14 and 16 years with 70 different subject options to select from. Students are allowed to match education and career goals when selecting subjects, depending on the schools and the subjects being provided.

The educational system is inclusive, and entails opportunities to pursue primary and secondary education alone, depending on the length and time of the child’s stay in the country. Tuition fees being charged by international schools also range from approximately SGD 19,500-32,000 per child on average but may vary depending on the school.

Influx of expatriates entering the city for work; number of international schools increases every year

Between the years 2012 and 2013, the international school enrolment jumped to 47,000 (a 12% increase) and as of May 2016, the enrolment number remained at 59,900 (27%) over the entire period. This notable increase saw the country ranking 3rd in 2017 for having a South-east Asian international school with the 3rd highest number of students enrolled in it.

Data also showed that the number of international schools within Singapore witnessed a notable increase of 32% from 2012 to 2016. In the year 2020 alone, Singapore saw the opening of four new international schools within the country.

The demand for international schools kept growing during this period of time, and many schools saw expansion and development as well. In order to assist with the increase in demand, the Ministry of Education introduced policies that entailed the restriction of Singaporean students enrolling at international schools except under special circumstances.

Even though the country allows expatriates to enroll students in local schools, many of the local schooling systems opt for strict and somewhat extreme methods of discipline. Hence, most expatriate families search for a more holistic educational approach that caters to international standards but also provides a better environment for children to pursue an education within the country.

Scholarships offered for international school students; increased living costs and school fees affecting education

With an increasing number of expatriates entering the country, many deem the cost of living within the city to be high. The scholarship programs offered at international schools benefit families in several ways such as

A compensation of between 10 and 80% of all educational fees depending on the scholarship given to the child.

Providing students an opportunity to partake in rigorous curriculums, and access to a range of dynamic sports and technology. This is useful especially for scholarships provided by top international schools in Singapore.

Motivating children, and developing a sense of gratitude and reward upon the achievement of a scholarship due to the appreciation of the hard work involved by the student.

Scholarships could also be included in applications for college and provide children with wider opportunities for excellent universities in the future.

The offering of scholarships paves a much easier path for families due to the fact that international schools are dedicated towards assisting expatriate families, resulting in excellent support structures for children.

Key Trends

International schools under pressure; loss of jobs and income reductions impact attendance

The pandemic resulted in creating a large impact on the international school market where tens of thousands of expats lost their jobs in 2020. International travel became severely restricted initially and the inbound market took time to pick up.

A survey conducted in 2020 on the impacts of the pandemic on international schools showed a massive drop in attendance. This included many children being pulled out of schools due to expatriate families leaving the country. The survey showed that 15% of families had taken children out of schools as a result of job losses or lowered incomes due to COVID-19.

Parents who stayed within the city began opting for more economical means of education and opted for switching to budget schools for children in the primary section. Statistics showed that 20% of parents with children in primary schools considered budget schools as opposed to 4% of those who had children in secondary schools. Among the small group of foreign expats who remained within the city, statistics showed that 30% reported a large decrease in income.

International schools immediately begin to adapt to the pandemic; virtual classes conducted in order to assist students

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the government of Singapore resorting to various safety protocols as a means to curb the spread of the virus. This way of handling the pandemic led to the country being 4th in rank for a survey conducted in 2021 that proved the country to be a much safer destination for travel and work.

Due to the border tightening, many families found themselves stuck abroad and unable to enter the city. This resulted in schools having students who were physically unable to attend classes and international schools needed to immediately mitigate these challenges.

The Tanglin Trust School - a well-known school located in Singapore - has stated that a large number of its staff were not severely affected by the pandemic and instead, the school had opted for more virtual options for students. Even students who hoped to join in the future were provided with virtual tours of the school and interviews were carried online in replacement of physical meetings.

Students were provided with a SMART Campus that enabled virtual learning classrooms and technology facilities to access classes remotely. This was noted in not just the Tanglin Trust School but in many other international schools within Singapore, as a means to assist students amidst the crisis.

Key Statistics

  • The international schools sector in Singapore contributes SGD 1.6 billion to the education sector and enrolls around 53,000 students annually, as per statistics obtained in 2018.
  • Over 4,000 students occupy the largest international school in Singapore and approximately 30 students occupy the smallest.
