Singapore International School @ Gamuda Gardens offers two pathways: the Integrated Programme and the International Programme. The Integrated Programme combines Vietnamese national curriculum subjects with English-medium components based on the Singapore curriculum, covering core areas such as Mathematics, Science, ICT, and English alongside Vietnamese Literature and Social Studies. The International Programme follows the Singapore curriculum in Primary and transitions to the Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Lower Secondary frameworks from Year 1 to Year 8. Students then progress to Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9 and 10, followed by Cambridge A/AS Levels in Years 11 and 12. Both pathways include additional subjects such as Physical Education, Arts, ICT, and character and life-skills programmes depending on year group. Instruction is delivered in English for the International Programme and in a bilingual format for the Integrated Programme.
