Curriculum Overview

At our Singapore international school, we offer a comprehensive and globally recognised K-12 curriculum. This consists of three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes and the ISS High School Diploma Programme, all designed to nurture well-rounded, lifelong learners.

IB Primary Years Programme

The PYP is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12. The programme focuses on developing the whole child, affecting hearts as well as minds and addressing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic welfare.

IB Middle Years Programme

The MYP is a course of study designed to meet the educational needs of students aged between 11 and 16 years. It provides a broad, traditional foundation of knowledge that encourages students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers.

IB Diploma Programme

The Diploma Programme (DP) is a rigorous and very demanding academic programme, designed for highly motivated and determined students wishing to enter highly selective universities.

ISS High School Diploma Programme

The ISS High School Diploma (HSD) programme is an alternative to the IBDP. The programme provides a personalised, two-year American-style curriculum fully accredited and recognised by universities worldwide.
