NLCS (Singapore) builds on the rich history and heritage of NLCS (UK) by offering students what it describes as an inspiring and life-changing educational experience that will help them become successful, well-rounded and compassionate human beings.

Sports activities play a central role in the school’s goal of educating individuals to embrace challenges and take responsibility for shaping a better world.

Billy Molloy is Director of Sport at NLCS (Singapore); he says, “Our Sports Programme aims to discover and develop the potential in every student, commensurate with age and ability in a wide range of sporting activities. Participation in sports is an integral part of a student’s educational experience, and the schools­ provides varied and extensive sports opportunities for all students who wish to participate.”
