Foreign System Schools, or International Schools, offer you the opportunity to pursue an education similar to the one in your country of origin. Registered with the Ministry of Education, they follow guidelines and curriculum identical to those in their home country.
Singapore has a number of International Schools granting admission to foreign students and permanent residents. Some International Schools impose minimum requirements for admission, such as language proficiency or nationality. The criteria vary with each school.
Fees per year generally range from S$4,600 to S$14,000 for the lower grades and S$6,000 to S$18,000 for the upper grades. The school year and semesters also differ from school to school.
