Invictus International School Singapore, Singapore

Founded in 2016 by John Fearon in partnership with the Chip Eng Seng group, Invictus operates three Singapore locations at Loewen Road (Dempsey Hill), Serangoon Road, and Upper Bukit Timah Road, with its newest campus at Centrium Square in Farrer Park. Principal Alex Ward, a UK educator with previous experience at Harrow International School in China, leads the institution alongside Vice Principal Chia Puay Leng, who brings expertise in Chinese bilingual programming from Repton Schoolhouse.

The school delivers International Primary Curriculum (IPC) from Years 1-6, International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) for Grades 7-9, followed by British IGCSEs and A-Levels through Year 13. The bilingual programme at Centrium Square provides Chinese immersion ranging from 60% in Grade 1 to 40% in Grades 5-6, with subjects including Mandarin language, music, art, and PE taught in Chinese while mathematics follows the Singapore curriculum. Class sizes in the bilingual stream are capped at 25 students, creating an intimate learning environment that serves both native and non-native Chinese speakers seeking dual-language proficiency.

<a href="/international-schools/singapore/invictus-international-school">Invictus International School Singapore</a> is positioned as a lower-fee option in the Singapore market. Independent, recent parent commentary is thin. The most detailed third-party write-up focuses on value-for-money trade-offs rather than day-to-day classroom experience.

What parents and observers highlight

A recent overview byframes Invictus as a centrally located, comparatively affordable school with a Chinese-English bilingual offer in primary years, plus IGCSE and A Levels at the top end. The same review notes the compromises typical at this price point, particularly around specialist spaces and sport, and suggests families may redirect savings into after-school activities.

Bottom line

Limited independent commentary available for this school. The clearest external picture is of a cost-conscious campus with a bilingual pitch and a UK exam pathway, alongside more basic facilities than premium peers. Prospective families should seek current parent references directly.

Affordability and trade-offs. A detailed external review presents Invictus as a value-priced option that accepts simpler facilities and a narrower subject and activity footprint than high-fee schools, while offering a clear academic pathway.

Bilingual programme. The school is described as running a Chinese-English bilingual approach in primary years, with secondary taught in English and IGCSE and A Levels later.

Sixth form scale and choice. The same review flags a small sixth form cohort and a smaller A Level subject menu than top-tier competitors.
