Established in 2015, 5 Steps Academy is a Cambridge International School and a US College Board-approved K-12 institution. It is also accredited as a Professional Development Centre by the University of Cambridge, enabling it to train educators from other schools worldwide.

Community

5 Steps Academy fosters a close-knit community that emphasizes strong collaboration between teachers, students, and parents. The school organizes various events such as art competitions, talent shows, math olympiads, and international chess championships, providing students with opportunities to showcase their talents and engage with peers. The school also encourages students to participate in community service activities, exemplified by visits to local old folks' homes, promoting empathy and social responsibility.

The school encourages regular parent meetings to discuss students' learning journeys and maintains open lines of communication. For parents new to Singapore, the school offers support to help them settle in and fosters new friendships within the community. A dedicated Parent Portal provides access to important internal information, announcements, events, and opportunities, ensuring parents remain engaged and informed about their children's education.
