In brief
Founded by Jayne Nadarajoo and Ganesh Kanapathy, The Guild represents a unique approach to international education in Singapore by specifically targeting neurodivergent learners who may struggle in mainstream educational settings. The school operates from Phoenix Park in Tanglin with convenient transport links including a free shuttle from Redhill MRT station. As one of the few schools in Singapore dedicated to students with learning differences, it fills a specialized niche in the international education market.
The school follows an Australian curriculum framework adapted for inclusive education, serving students across a broad age range from 9 to 30 years old. This extended age range reflects the school's commitment to supporting learners who may need additional time or alternative pathways to achieve their educational goals. The Guild has also expanded its reach with The Guild Inclusive Skills Academy in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, indicating growth in their specialized educational model. However, as a relatively new institution founded in 2021, the school lacks the established track record and extensive parent feedback available for Singapore's older international schools.
