ABOUT US

SGCIS was founded with the goal to improve the quality of education in the places that we establish ourselves in. By using our experience and knowledge of the Singapore education system blended with International best practices, we aim to create a global community where families from all over the world can feel at home. The way we impact change is by focusing on developing three main aspects – students, staff and the community.

Top Tier Education at Affordable Prices

At SGCIS, we focus on what is crucial to education – the quality of teaching and curriculum to ensure students learn at a high level. By sharing the use of facilities like swimming pools and fields, we are able to lower the cost of our operation. These facilities take up a lot of space and are not utilised throughout the day and during weekends. This is one of the ways that allow us to pass the cost savings along to our parents.

Our Pre-school and Primary curriculum is rooted in the world-renowned Singapore curriculum which is ranked top in the world of Mathematics and Science based on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) global benchmarking test. We then incorporate best practices from international curricula from around the world to provide our students with a holistic educational experience.

While the Singapore curriculum is often known to be academically rigorous, the intent is to stretch and challenge children at their own pace. It is vital that these subjects are taught properly by professionals who understand the framework and its purpose. SGCIS was founded by educators who have decades of experience delivering the Singapore curriculum to students both from Singapore and around the world. Together with a team of qualified and experienced teachers we provide our students a supportive environment to stretch and grow their abilities at their own pace.

Students in SGCIS achieve academic excellence by having fun while learning. At SGCIS, learning takes place both in and out of the classroom. We introduce our students to an array of physical activities such as swimming, sand play, ball games to develop their physical and motor skills. Our character development program instils traits such as respect, responsibility and empathy. We also have our own unique programs to allow students to find joy and purpose in their learning while preparing them for wherever the future takes them.

YEA is a collaborative community initiative between SGCIS and businesses to help inspire and mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs. By collaborating with business, we are able to create fun and interesting lessons and projects to give our students a hands-on learning experience about money, planning, management and innovation.

Our Farm to Table program allows our students to experience hands-on learning about food and nutrition by growing various types of vegetables. Besides learning how to plant the vegetables, our students can observe the changes as the vegetables grow, learn how to harvest and prepare them for consumption.

Throughout the year, our students will have exhibitions or performances to showcase what they have learnt. Performing on stage provides students with the opportunity to develop their individual talents and confidence.

Maximising the potential of every student to be confident life long learners who are able to make a positive contribution to the world.

Inspiring passion for lifelong learning and building a community culture for both students and staff to initiate, innovate and be resilient.

• Innovation

We incorporate these values into our curriculum and staff training to create our own unique SGCIS culture.
