School for ADHD in Singapore

At Integrated International School (IIS), we help students build the focus, organisation, and independence needed to access the British curriculum within an inclusive international school environment.

As a school for ADHD in Singapore, IIS combines individualised learning, specialist teaching, and therapeutic support to meet each student's educational needs. Our EduTrust-certified school has provided inlcusive education support since 2009, maintaining a maximum 1:6 teacher-to-student ratio and a collaborative approach where teachers, therapists, and counsellors work together to support every learner's progress.

How IIS Supports Students with ADHD

At IIS, we combine individualised learning plans, small class sizes, structured classroom routines, and specialist support so ADHD learners can stay engaged with lessons, manage the demands of the school day, and take part with confidence.

Individualised Learning Plans

Each student follows an individualised learning plan developed around their academic abilities, learning profile, strengths, and educational goals. Teachers review progress regularly and adjust teaching strategies to ensure students continue to receive the appropriate level of support and challenge.

Small Classes with a Maximum 1:6 Teacher-to-Student Ratio

With a maximum 1:6 teacher-to-student ratio, teachers can provide closer guidance, monitor progress throughout each lesson, and adapt instruction to meet individual learning needs. Smaller classes also encourage greater participation and allow students to receive timely feedback and support.

Structured Routines and Movement Opportunities

Students with ADHD often benefit from consistency throughout the school day. Clear classroom expectations, structured routines, and planned movement opportunities help students manage transitions, maintain engagement, and return to learning with greater focus.

Executive Function Support

Executive functioning skills are embedded throughout everyday learning at IIS. Teachers provide structured support to help students strengthen focus, organisation, planning, task-switching, time management, and independent learning strategies. These skills help students manage classroom responsibilities more effectively while preparing them for greater independence as they progress through school.

A Structured, Focus-Friendly Learning Environment

At IIS, our classrooms and specialist facilities are designed to support attention, organisation, and self-regulation, helping students participate more effectively throughout the school day.

Alongside personalised teaching, students have access to learning spaces that support both academic engagement and individual wellbeing.

Learning Environment	How It Supports Students with ADHD
Inclusive Classrooms	Calm, well-organised classroom setups with reduced visual clutter, clear zones for focused work, and space for planned movement breaks.
Structured Daily Routines	Consistent classroom routines and clear expectations help students stay organised, manage transitions, and complete learning tasks with greater confidence.
Snoezelen Sensory Room	Provides a calm space where students can regulate sensory input and prepare to re-engage with learning when needed.
Occupational Therapy Gym	Supports movement, coordination, sensory integration, and self-regulation through therapist-led activities that complement classroom learning.

Our Von Auer Collaborative Teaching Approach™ ensures classroom strategies are supported by teachers, therapists, and counsellors working together. This coordinated approach allows students to strengthen focus, improve organisation, and develop positive learning habits within a consistent and supportive environment.

ADHD Support & In-House Therapies

At IIS, therapeutic support is integrated into each student's educational programme rather than delivered as a separate service. Our in-house specialists work closely with teachers to help ADHD learners develop the academic, behavioural, and organisational skills that support their day-to-day school experience.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy supports students in developing the practical skills needed to participate confidently in learning and everyday school activities. Support may focus on:

Attention and self-regulation
Sensory processing
Fine and gross motor skills
Handwriting
Classroom organisation
Daily living skills

Sessions are tailored to each student's needs and aligned with their educational goals.

Educational Therapy

Educational therapy provides targeted support for students who benefit from additional guidance in executive functioning, organisation, literacy, numeracy, memory, and learning strategies. Therapists work alongside teachers to reinforce classroom learning and help students build effective study habits.

Behavioural and Social Skills Support

Developing positive learning behaviours and social skills is an important part of the school experience. Our educators, counsellors, and therapists draw on evidence-based methods including Naturalistic Behaviour Intervention, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and TEACCH-informed strategies, alongside structured social skills sessions covering self-awareness, verbal and non-verbal communication, collaborative teamwork, and conflict resolution.

Collaborative Specialist Support

Our Von Auer Collaborative Teaching Approach™ brings together teachers, therapists, and counsellors to develop coordinated strategies that support each student's academic and personal development. By sharing observations and aligning interventions, our multidisciplinary team provides consistent support throughout the school day, helping students apply new skills across different learning environments.

Identifying ADHD & Early Intervention

IIS offers an Early Intervention Programme for children aged 18 months to 6 years, combining structured learning, play-based experiences, and therapeutic support in a nurturing environment. Each programme is tailored to the child's developmental profile, with educators and therapists working closely together to support communication, attention, social development, emotional regulation, and school readiness.

Families are actively involved throughout the programme. Regular communication with our multidisciplinary team helps ensure learning strategies are reinforced both at school and at home.
