Our Curriculum and Approach

A globally recognized curriculum, taught in small classes, with the natural world as an extension of the classroom.

Australian Curriculum

A clear, rigorous framework from preschool through secondary, building strong literacy, numeracy and critical thinking, and leading to the Australian HSC exam.

International Primary Curriculum

In the primary years, the IPC adds themed, cross-subject units that develop international mindedness and a love of enquiry.

Regular walks in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, directly across the road, turn habitats and wildlife into lessons in science, writing and art.
