Top Tier Education at Affordable Prices<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CURRICULUM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Academic Excellence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Young Entrepreneur Association (YEA)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Farm to Table<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Project Exhibition and Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
