International School Singapore

[abbby]

Asking on behalf of a friend who's moving in January.

For the average International School, can I know:

- What are the class sizes and student-teacher ratios?

- How are students assessed and graded?

Hi there! Most International Schools in Singapore have small class sizes, typically around 18–22 students in primary and up to 25 in secondary, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 1:8 to 1:12. Assessment is usually holistic, with a mix of ongoing classwork, projects, presentations, and term-end exams, depending on the curriculum. IB schools focus more on inquiry and reflection, while British curriculum schools (like IGCSE/A-Levels) lean more toward structured exams.
