Future-focused holistic education

The Perse School (Singapore) offers a seamless journey from Nursery through to Senior School. The school shares how they combine over 400 years of Cambridge heritage with a modern, future-focused approach to learning for a holistic education. Plus, details on how you can tour the campus.

Holistic British education, driven by values

The Perse School (Singapore) has its roots in the academic excellence of The Perse School Cambridge, one of the top five independent schools in the UK. The school received the Most Affordable International School award in 2025 by HoneyKids Asia, alongside Best New Campus, and Diversity and Inclusive Community awards. 

With A-levels set to launch in August 2027, the school is building a clear and rigorous academic pathway that supports students at every stage of their development.

A strong Cambridge foundation is supported by the school’s enduring values. This is in line with the school’s three-dimensional approach to holistic education. The approach places equal importance on academic excellence, co-curricular involvement and pastoral care. Teachers also play a central role in helping students build resilience, character and a strong sense of purpose.

The result is a culture where students are given encouragement to think independently, develop intellectual curiosity and grow with confidence.

Besides guiding students academically, teachers play a central role in helping students build resilience, character and a strong sense of purpose.

Commitment to a future-focused curriculum

The Perse School (Singapore) is committed to a truly future-focused curriculum.

In the classroom, students engage with subjects such as entrepreneurship, coding and robotics, design and technology and sustainable learning. These prepare them for a rapidly evolving world. Further enriching the experience are meaningful connections with The Perse Cambridge. This results in opportunities for collaboration, shared experiences and a broader global perspective.

Beyond the classroom, students benefit from a wide and diverse co-curricular programme to become well-rounded individuals. The school also offers over 100 extracurricular activities across all year levels. The activities range from sports and games to the arts, wellbeing, sciences and technology.

The school has partnerships with world-class sports partners such as Barca Academy (football), The Yard (gymnastics) and CricKingdom (cricket). This gives students access to high-quality coaching and facilities. Additional sport opportunities include swimming, basketball, touch rugby, badminton, korfball, baseball and more.

Purpose-built facilities in an award-winning campus

The campus reflects the holistic approach to education, with purpose-built spaces designed to inspire exploration and excellence. Facilities include a culinary lab, dedicated arts and music studios and well-equipped science laboratories.

Looking ahead, a dedicated Design & Technology lab and a Primary School science lab will open in August 2026. These place The Perse among the few international schools in Singapore to offer science lab access at the primary level to foster curiosity and hands-on learning from an early age.

A truly global community

The Perse School (Singapore) has quickly established itself as a vibrant international community. Bringing together around 800 students from diverse backgrounds, it has the capacity to grow to 1,500. Its student population comprises over 60 nationalities and no single nationality exceeds 18 percent of the student population.

Here, students learn alongside peers from around the world. They share perspectives, celebrate cultures and develop a strong sense of global citizenship from an early age.
