Reviews
- Parents are split: warm reviews on bilingual outcomes sit alongside flat negative complaints about facilities, food and how staff are treated.
- The bilingual English/Mandarin programme is the consistent positive draw, with around half of teachers bilingual.
- One parent said their child "learned bilingual skills when young" after several years at the school.
- 2025 IB diploma average was 34, above the global average but below the Singapore average of around 35.
- Negative reviews flag the school as expensive for what it offers, with limited facilities at the previous campus and complaints about food.
- The school recently relocated to Marina Square, which may shift the facilities picture.
Positives
- Bilingual programme. English-Mandarin curriculum and bilingual teaching staff are the most consistent draw.
- Pre-school and pastoral. Pre-school teachers described as kind, caring and patient by multiple parents.
Considerations
- IB outcomes. 2025 IB average of 34 sits above global but below Singapore's national average.
- Facilities and food. Critical reviews flag limited facilities and poor food; recent move to Marina Square may change this.
- Fees value. Some parents call the school pricey relative to what it offers.
- Polarised parent opinion. Long-tenure positives sit next to short, sharp negatives; little middle ground.
