AIS has a long history of delivering a holistic, rounded education. What makes us truly unique is that we offer a southern hemisphere academic calendar through an Australian curriculum-based global education, combined with a focus on development of the individual as a whole.
A proudly non-selective school, our attention to academic accomplishments as well as the person means every enthusiastic student is welcome. We believe that it is not only intellectual ability that determines an individual’s worth of contribution. Additionally, our focus on Academic Wellbeing means that we “know our students” which supports them in their ambition to be the best version of themselves.
Our student-centered curriculum encompasses the very best teaching and learning methodology. With over 45 nationalities, we use our multicultural environment to deliver a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of international mindedness, supported by our emphasis on all students learning an additional language from Pre-nursery to Year 12, the Arts and physical education, for the development of the whole person.
Our numerous programmes further ensure each child’s potential is realized. Ranging from Learning Support and English as an Additional Language (EAL) to our Positive Education programme, from our Orientation and Buddy System, to our Wellbeing Counsellors, each child’s needs are carefully assessed, and the right amount of assistance applied.
Supporting the Academic Wellbeing of each student relies on understanding an individual’s learning requirements and defining a pathway to best support their learning journey. We do this through the use of an innovative Data Dashboard, with a Predicative Grades tool in upper Secondary which drives teaching and learning for tailored support and more importantly, timely intervention.
In doing so, our academic results are well above world averages, with 27% of our students in 2020 achiving an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) of 90+.

A Global Curriculum

To date, over 500 universities globally have offered places to CIS graduates.
A Student-Centric Approach
CIS has a culture of innovation, in academic programming and thinking. Faculty adopt a student-centric approach which ensures that programme development, curriculum and assessment are driven by what is best for children and their learning, across the K-12 spectrum. This student-centricity manifests itself in pioneering programmes and learning spaces that simulate the real world, provoke inquiry and investigation, analysis and experimentation, collaboration and communication, and innovation and creativity.
Making Connections
At CIS, students are taught how to think, not what to think. Learning isn’t deskbound. Students are taught to become flexible and critical thinkers, creative in the way that they connect ideas and concepts, collaborative in their thinking and inspirational in their capacity to motivate others. They collaborate, they connect with the community and environment around them, and they search for solutions rather than look for the one ‘right’ answer. They are encouraged to build on their natural curiosity and develop strong communication skills that will enable them to connect with people both on a local and global level.
Instilling a Determination to Act and Achieve
CIS teaches students the value of resilience, giving them the confidence to pursue an idea from inception to completion, as well as providing them with the necessary skills to overcome the barriers they may encounter along the way. At CIS, students are instilled with a sense of drive, purpose and a determination to achieve.
Preparing for Global Success
Success in a global environment more than ever before will require not only the ability to come up with fresh and original ideas, but the focus and dedication to turn those ideas into action.
A STEAM Philosophy that fuels innovation
The CIS STEAM (Science, Technology, Environmental Studies, Arts and Mathematics) philosophy and makerspaces provide project based learning experiences that challenge inquisitive minds, fuel innovative thinking, and create a culture of teamwork and collaboration. STEAM provides students with:
Chinese-English and French-English Bilingual Programmes

NPS International School (NPSI), currently ranked 23rd on the Global IB Rank, is regarded as one of the best international schools in Singapore. Our curriculum runs from nursery to grade 12 (CBSE, IB, and IGCSE). We not only produced high-achieving students, but we also had the perfect framework setup to welcome new students to our school, thanks to a solid pastoral care programme that safeguarded their physical and mental well-being.
The school is the flagship brand of the pioneering educational institution company based in Bangalore, India. We started with a single campus and have now expanded to two. Our primary students attend our campus on Hillside Drive in the northern part of Singapore, while our secondary students attend our Scotts Campus in the heart of Singapore's famous shopping district.
At NPSI, we believe in creating a complete learning environment. We believe that each of our students is unique, so we want to give them the ideal incubatory environment to find and develop their natural and various qualities. We believe that education extends beyond the classroom; therefore, we emphasised the value of sports, which complement academic brilliance and promote self-confidence, perseverance, and other key life qualities.
There is never a dull day at NPSI. Lessons are always full of fun and creativity. Dance and music are introduced at a young age to help pupils develop their critical thinking, confidence and kinesthetic skills. There are numerous extracurricular activities offered, ranging from the Sports Academy Programme to personal interests.
NPSI is also a great believer in empowering students to take on leadership responsibilities. This may happen in the form of being elected a Student Leader, leading group projects and presentations, or serving on the executive committee of an extracurricular activity group.

GESS
More than just a school, the GESS Preschool is a warm and supportive community of diverse learners ranging from 18 months to 5 years of age.
Our View of Your Child
At GESS, we believe that every child is a powerful individual with an innate desire to learn about the world and has the natural potential to explore and develop this understanding in their own ways. We focus our effort on promoting this desire further.
Respectful and Responsive Educators
Our Preschool educators are qualified teachers from all around the world. They are dedicated to supporting your child as they make sense of the world around them, develop a self-identity and grow as a learner and a global citizen. Our educators listen to children to identify their interests and needs, and respond with prompts, activities and suggestions for learner-intiated exploration.
Learning Spaces That Bring the World to Your Child
Our learning spaces provide a safe and comfortable environment for young children to uninhibitedly open themselves up to learning. The spaces are designed to help children with cognitive, physical and creative growth and include sensory gardens, light ateliers, art rooms, cooking spaces, outdoor playgrounds and so much more.
Language Exposure
Each child receives instruction in two languages (English and German) at varying points of the day. This helps them become powerful communicators in an increasingly globalising world.
A Robust Curriculum
Our Preschool curriculum is built on the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). Your child will be exposed to an inquiry-based learning environment with focus on language, mathematical, scientific, artistic, and physical disciplines. Through inquiry, children will construct a developmentally appropriate understanding of their world.
“Before our eldest started at GESS, going to school was a nightmare for all of us…As soon as he joined GESS, all of this stopped. His teachers understood and respected his nature. They gave him the time and space he needed, even if that meant that he sat in the reading corner while everyone else was engaged in a group activity. They met with me regularly, always reassuring me that they had Luca’s best interests in mind.” – Leila Boukarim, Mother of 2 children who attended the GESS Preschool

International Schools featured:
When Singaporeans hear the words 'international school', two things typically spring to mind—firstly, that these schools are primarily attended by the children of foreign nationals who are currently living and working in the country, and secondly, that these schools charge astronomically high school fees, compared to the local institutions.
In reality, however, an international school is not necessarily defined by either. Instead, such schools are places of learning where students either follow a national curriculum that is different from the country where the school is located, or an international curriculum that is widely accepted around the world. While such schools mainly cater to the children of expatriates working in the country, some local students also enrol in these institutions for various reasons. For example, they may find that the curriculum offered by the international school is better suited to their learning needs or more in line with their plans to further their studies abroad. They may even wish to attend international schools as these may teach in different language mediums.
While each curriculum has its own advantages, some remain more commonly taught than others. In Singapore’s international schools, there are three main curricula which use English as their main medium of instruction.
