Singapore’s international schools labelled “International Curriculum” typically offer a mix of internationally recognised pathways - most commonly the International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level) sequences, and US or other national curricula - so families can choose a route that maps to their next country or university plans. Instruction is overwhelmingly in English, although many schools run bilingual streams or strong mother-tongue lessons (Mandarin is widely available and French, Japanese, Spanish and German are commonly offered as well). Annual tuition varies a lot by age and school; as a broad guide fees frequently fall in the mid-teens to low-forties of thousands of Singapore dollars per year, with additional one-off deposits, capital levies and ancillary costs to budget for. Popular entry points and senior years fill early, and most international schools operate northern-hemisphere intakes or rolling admissions, so families normally begin applications many months - often 6 - 18 months - before the desired start date; waitlists are common. Dependant’s-Pass holders can usually enrol without a separate Student’s Pass, but visa and health documentation requirements and the full cost package (bus, meals, uniforms, assessments) should be checked with each school well before moving.
