About Independent Schools

What are independent schools?

Independent schools in Singapore operate with the highest level of autonomy among government-linked schools. They set their own school fees (which are higher than government schools), design their own curriculum, and have full control over staffing and admissions criteria.

Many independent schools are among Singapore's most prestigious institutions, offering the Integrated Programme (IP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or other specialised curricula. They provide extensive facilities, global exchange programmes and a wide range of co-curricular activities. Financial assistance schemes are available for students who need support.
