About international schools in Singapore

Australian-curriculum international schools in Singapore are characterised by an Australian-style sequence of year-level standards and, in practice, by a single established provider that combines Australian Curriculum content with international pathways for seniors - including the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (HSC), Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma. Instruction is delivered predominantly in English, with structured Mandarin and a broader mother-tongue/modern-language programme plus English-as-an-additional-language support for non-native speakers. Fees for Australian-curriculum places fall inside Singapore’s wider international-school band; published AIS figures show per-semester starting points that convert to roughly mid-to-high tens of thousands of SGD per year depending on age and programme. Families relocating to Singapore should note the school follows a southern-hemisphere (January - December) rhythm with multiple intakes and should prepare transcripts, vaccination records and visa/student-pass paperwork well before arrival.

FAQs for Singapore

How does the Australian Curriculum used in Singapore differ from the IB or British (IGCSE/A-level) routes?
The Australian Curriculum sets year-by-year content and achievement standards similar to national systems; in Singapore this is commonly used in middle years and then combined with internationally recognised senior routes. At the main Australian-curriculum provider students typically move through Australian Curriculum outcomes into Cambridge IGCSE in lower secondary and then choose between the NSW Higher School Certificate or the IB Diploma in Years 11 - 12, so the Australian sequence is more directly aligned with Australian senior certificates than the two-year IB Diploma model.
What should we budget for school fees and extra costs?
Australian-curriculum places sit within Singapore’s international-school price band, so expect total costs (tuition plus typical extras) to be in the mid-to-high tens of thousands of SGD per year depending on age and programme. Published school schedules show per-semester tuition starting figures for primary and secondary that convert to annual fees, and parents should also allow for application and enrolment charges, transport, uniforms, optional co-curricular activities and targeted language or learning support when estimating the full annual cost.
When should we apply and how flexible are entry dates for relocating families?
Many international schools accept applications year-round but operate main intakes and term calendars you should plan around; for Australian-calendared schools the academic year runs January - December with multiple intakes, so apply as early as possible and allow several months for paperwork. Prepare school reports, standardised test records if available, vaccination records and any translations in advance to speed placement and student-pass or visa procedures.
Can Singapore citizens enrol in an Australian international school in Singapore?
Singapore citizens can apply but, because of the country’s compulsory-education rules, enrolment for Singaporean children above the compulsory-education entry age normally requires prior approval or a waiver from the Ministry of Education before the school can admit them. International schools’ admissions pages set out the procedure and the school will usually submit the required documentation to MOE on the family’s behalf; check the school’s published policy and begin this process early.
What languages are taught and is there support for children who are not native English speakers?
Teaching is overwhelmingly in English, and Australian-curriculum schools in Singapore typically provide daily early-years Mandarin, modern language options in secondary (for example Mandarin, French, Spanish or Indonesian) and a formal mother-tongue programme where demand exists. Schools also run structured EAL programmes and diagnostic placement at enrolment to support students who need extra English language tuition before or alongside mainstream classes.
