About international schools in Singapore

Indian-curriculum international schools in Singapore most often follow India’s Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus, with English as the medium of instruction and Indian-language options (for example Hindi, Tamil or Sanskrit) offered alongside the core subjects. These programmes conventionally lead to CBSE board assessments at Class 10 (AISSE) and Class 12 (AISSCE), though some Indian-curriculum streams are operated inside larger international schools that adapt term dates to local practice. Annual tuition varies by provider and year group: published CBSE-campus fees in Singapore commonly start in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of Singapore dollars and can rise for older year groups, while the wider international-school market spans a much larger range. Admissions timing differs by school - many CBSE streams follow the April - March CBSE session while others follow international term rhythms - and non-Singapore residents must allow time for Student’s Pass / SOLAR+ processing, which schools typically help to initiate.

FAQs for Singapore

What exactly is the CBSE curriculum and what do the board exams cover?
CBSE is India’s national school board; its programmes lead to the All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) at the end of Class 10 and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination (AISSCE) at the end of Class 12. These are subject-based examinations set by CBSE and are used for national certification and university entry in India and recognised by many overseas institutions.
How do Indian-curriculum schools in Singapore differ from IB or British schools?
The CBSE syllabus is a national, subject-based curriculum that culminates in centralised board exams (Class 10 and 12), while IB and British schools use alternative frameworks (IB programmes or IGCSE/A-Levels) with different assessment styles and timetables. Some Indian-curriculum streams are part of larger international schools, so it is important to confirm whether the school follows the CBSE session and assessment calendar or has adapted to the international term structure.
What should I budget for tuition and extra costs?
Published fees for CBSE campuses in Singapore show a wide band: some CBSE providers publish annual tuition starting in the low-to-mid SGD tens of thousands for younger grades and substantially higher for senior secondary, while the broader international-school sector in Singapore ranges more widely. Families should budget additionally for application/enrolment charges, transport, meals and extracurricular trips; always check the school’s current fee schedule.
When should we apply and what paperwork is needed for a child coming from overseas?
Admission windows vary by school but you should allow several weeks for offer, Student’s Pass (SOLAR+) processing and any required health or vaccination checks; many schools begin formal Student’s Pass registration after an offer is accepted and payment of confirmation fees. Common documents requested are recent school reports, birth certificate, passport and vaccination records, and schools usually give step-by-step guidance on the SOLAR+ submission.
What languages are taught and how is mother-tongue support usually handled?
Instruction is commonly in English, with schools that follow the Indian curriculum generally offering Indian languages (for example Hindi, Tamil or Sanskrit) as compulsory or optional language subjects depending on the year group. Schools also commonly provide English language support for learners joining from different systems; check each school’s language policy and the availability of extra English or remedial support before you enrol.
