International Curriculum International Schools in Singapore

International-curriculum international schools in Singapore are defined by their use of globally recognised frameworks (for example the International Baccalaureate, British Cambridge/IGCSE and A-level pathways, American high-school diplomas and several national curricula run in an international context), and by a student body drawn largely from expatriate and internationally mobile families. English is the dominant language of instruction, though many schools run bilingual pathways and extensive mother-tongue or modern-language programmes (Mandarin, French, Spanish and others are commonly offered). Tuition varies widely by school and year group; families should expect headline annual fees commonly in the tens of thousands of Singapore dollars with senior-school years and some campuses toward the top end of the market attracting significantly higher charges, and one-off enrolment, capital levies and extras that add materially to the headline figure. Most international schools operate an August - June academic year with the main intake at the start of that year, some follow a January/southern-hemisphere cycle, and popular year groups often fill early so relocating families are advised to start enquiries well ahead of their move.
