How to Apply

What type of curriculum do you offer?

We offer an American curriculum with the option of taking Advanced Placement courses in high school. The American model of education helps students develop critical thinking skills and become well-rounded in multiple subject areas, emphasizing student choice in further pursuing areas of interest.

We view education holistically and use a variety of teaching styles in different grade levels and subjects to foster student learning—our goal is to instill a love for lifelong learning in every student. An intentional emphasis on project-based learning allows students to apply their learning to real-life situations.

Our teachers integrate technology into the classroom at every grade level, and all students in Grades 1 to 8 participate in our 1-to-1 device program. Students have opportunities to take courses in visual arts, music, Mandarin, physical education, and technology.

Where are your teachers from?

We hire quality educators from all around the world.

Our academic staff comprises a majority of US passport holders with an average of 11.9 years of teaching experience and 57% with a master's degree and above. Not only do we hire highly qualified and expertly trained teachers, but we also ensure that each individual is passionate about their job and dedicated to bringing students to the next level in their learning and personal growth. That's why the average length of stay for an educator at our school is 5 years.

Are you a Christian school and what does that mean for my child?

One of the unique differentiators of our school is that we are the only international school in Singapore offering an American curriculum with a biblical worldview.

What does that mean?
Our school was founded on Christian principles and our mission statement reflects our higher purpose. We provide families with an inclusive Christian environment for their students without compromising on quality and pedagogy.

What does this look like?
Our students attend weekly chapel service and are required to take Bible class at all grade levels. Students are encouraged to think critically, evaluate Scripture, and apply inductive and deductive reasoning at appropriate age levels.

Our curriculum is based in Biblical Worldview Integration, a Christ-centered method of instruction that creates learning experiences in which biblical truth is revealed in every subject matter by way of Scripture analysis and collaborative critical thinking. Through this process of instructional planning and teaching, students are asked to connect and compare their learning with a biblical worldview. Students of all faith backgrounds benefit from Biblical Worldview Integration as they develop a deep and personal understanding of truth through individual study, investigative teamwork, and group learning.

Our school is part of the Network of International Christian Schools and accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International whereby our standards and procedures are evaluated at the highest level.

Does my family need to be Christian to enroll here?
Absolutely not! We welcome families of all faith backgrounds into our caring community. Our diverse student body of various faiths and more than 30 countries reflects this commitment and we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.
