Apart from local public schools, foreigners and permanent residents in Singapore can also enrol at international schools which offer different education systems. Although registered with the Ministry of Education of Singapore, these schools follow the curriculum and guidelines similar to those of their home country. School programmes range from the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) programme – which includes Primary Years program (PYP), Middle Years program (MYP) and Diploma – to the British GCSE and GCE examination systems.
Such private schools include the American College, Australian International School, and United World College of South East Asia.
The Integrated Programme (IP) was introduced in 2004 to allow top schools in Singapore to develop their own curricula for upper secondary to pre-university students. IP schools include Anglo-Chinese School, Hwa Chong Institution and St Joseph’s Institution. These schools accept both local and foreign students.
