Public Schools in Singapore: The education system in Singapore starts with preschool, moves through primary school, and finishes with secondary school before students graduate. About 4% of public school students are international students, and 9% are permanent residents. At the secondary school level, students are directed towards technical colleges or universities. While almost all public schools in Singapore follow the same rigorous curriculum, they also offer varying levels of academic support for students.
Private Schools in Singapore: Singapore has over 40 private schools, most of which cater to international students. There are many schools dedicated to specific nationalities, such as British, German, and Indian schools. International schools usually offer a flexible curriculum with a wide range of subjects and approaches, under the supervision of the Committee for Private Education (CPE).
Public schools in Singapore are regularly ranked among the best in the world, especially in mathematics and science. This excellence comes from a strong commitment to traditional, competitive education. Students are focused on achieving overall excellence in standardized tests and study in a highly disciplined educational environment.
The curriculum of private schools in Singapore varies greatly between institutions. Some schools adopt a traditional approach with a focus on rote learning, while others apply a more future-focused, broader pedagogical approach. Due to the diversity in curriculum offerings, private schools in Singapore vary widely in terms of quality and outcomes. International schools may adopt completely different approaches.
Public schools in Singapore welcome international students, but they charge tuition fees for them. Citizens of ASEAN countries pay lower fees than citizens of other countries. Private school tuition fees are generally higher than public school fees, ranging from 13,000 Singapore dollars per year to a maximum of 50,000 Singapore dollars per year.
As in most countries, citizens are given top priority for enrollment in public schools. International students wishing to enroll their children in public schools should always have a backup plan in case they are placed on a waiting list. International students cannot request a specific school, meaning they may be allocated a school by the Ministry of Education.
However, admission to private schools is generally much easier.
Public schools in Singapore take breaks in September, December, March, and June. The school year runs from January to December.
Private schools set their own school year schedules, with the most common academic year being from August to July.
Singapore's public education system is admired worldwide, especially its mathematics curriculum. Most of Singapore's curricula are designed to prepare students for standardized exams.
International schools often adopt the curriculum used in their home countries, or they implement curricula based on philosophies such as the Montessori method or the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.
