Our curriculum programme is based on the Brighton College UK, Pre-Prep and Prep curriculum, with an increased emphasis on Mandarin.  In these important foundation years from Pre-Nursery to Year 6, we focus on supporting our pupils as they develop a natural curiosity and passion for learning, as well as providing an academic grounding that will be the key to their success in Secondary School and beyond.

Children in Pre-Nursery to Reception are taught by early years specialist teachers who follow the Early Years Foundation Stage programme.

Children in Year 1 to Year 9 are instructed by highly qualified, passionate and experienced teachers in the English National Curriculum.

Mandarin is a core feature of our curriculum programme.

In the Pre-Prep years (Pre-Nursery to Year 1), Mandarin is provided through a dual-language approach in the classroom. Each class will be led by a native English speaker, supported by at least one native Mandarin speaker Teaching Assistant. Our Nursery and Reception timetable also includes one dedicated Mandarin lesson per week, and one Mandarin story-time with our Mandarin Teaching specialist).

From Year 1, a daily Mandarin lesson (taught by a native Mandarin Teaching specialist) is included in the school day, and our children then graduate from this dual-language environment from Year 2 upwards, continuing with daily Mandarin as part of the core curriculum, streamed according to need.

French is introduced as a second learnt language from Year 3.

Our dedicated learning spaces include music rooms, science, art and tech spaces for the older children, as well as indoor and outdoor play areas. We also enjoy shared facilities (that support Brighton College (Singapore) and our two sister schools – AIS and SAIS – on the same education hub campus) such as two swimming pools, two sports fields and three sport halls.
