Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an international school and a local school in Singapore?
The key differences lie in curriculum, student profile, and structure. Local schools follow the MOE curriculum and lead to national qualifications such as the GCE O- and A-Levels, with a strong emphasis on bilingual education. On the other hand, international schools like ISS offer global curricula such as the IB or American-style HSD and serve a more diverse student community. They are privately run, typically offer more flexibility in learning approaches, and may come with higher tuition fees.
How do I choose the right international school for my child?
Choosing the right school starts with understanding your child’s learning style, personality, and future goals. Some students thrive in structured environments, while others benefit from more inquiry-based or flexible approaches. It is also important to consider the curriculum, class sizes, teacher support, and overall school culture. Visiting the campus, speaking with teachers, and observing how students interact can give you a clearer sense of whether the environment suits them.
Are the qualifications at ISS International School recognised by universities?
Yes, our school offers globally recognised pathways, including the IB curriculum and the American-style High School Diploma. These qualifications are widely accepted by universities around the world and are designed to prepare students for higher education through the development of critical thinking, research skills, and independent learning.
Is English proficiency required to enrol in ISS International School?
As English is the main language of instruction, a basic level of proficiency helps students follow lessons and participate in class. That said, ISS provides a structured English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, along with ongoing academic support, to help students build confidence and keep pace with their peers. As an inclusive school in Singapore for foreigners from all over the world, we support students at different starting points, ensuring they are guided both academically and socially.
Do international schools in Singapore offer extracurricular activities?
Yes, extracurricular activities are a key part of the school experience. At ISS International School, we offer a wide range of options, including sports, performing arts, music, clubs, and service-based activities.
