British curriculum schools are increasingly popular in Singapore due to their strong academic framework, holistic approach to education, and personalised learning. For families seeking a well-rounded, internationally recognised education, the British curriculum offers a path that prepares students for success both academically and personally. The Integrated International School (IIS) was established with this belief at its very core, where students benefit from the flexibility of a bespoke education programme derived from certified British curricula (Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge) to meet their individual needs and aspirations. Here's why British curriculum schools, like IIS, stand out in Singapore.

The Personalised Approach to Learning

One of the key strengths of the British curriculum is its personalised approach to learning, which tailors education to the needs, strengths, and interests of each student. In a classroom setting, this means smaller class sizes, individualised attention from teachers, and a focus on each child’s personal development. At IIS, this approach is exemplified by their bespoke education programmes, which provide a flexible and adaptive learning experience. The school ensures that each student is not just a part of a generalised curriculum but is nurtured according to their own pace and learning style. This personalised approach fosters a sense of confidence and self-belief in students, which is essential for academic success and beyond.

Strong Academic Framework and Global Recognition

The British curriculum is renowned for its rigorous academic framework that is both structured and comprehensive. It ensures students are well-prepared for higher education and life beyond school. Schools offering the British curriculum in Singapore provide a globally recognised qualification, such as IGCSE and A-levels, which are highly regarded by universities and employers worldwide. At IIS, students benefit from this strong academic framework, while also receiving the support they need through integrated learning strategies that cater to various abilities. IIS’s focus on academic excellence and its ability to adapt to each student's strengths contributes to its reputation as a leading school for personalised education.

Holistic Development Beyond Academics

The British curriculum is not solely focused on academics. It places a strong emphasis on holistic development, nurturing students in areas beyond traditional classroom learning. At IIS, this holistic approach is fully embraced, with opportunities for students to engage in extracurricular activities, develop leadership skills, and focus on personal growth. IIS’s vast range of activities include sports, arts, and community projects, all designed to promote emotional intelligence, teamwork, and resilience. The school believes in the importance of well-rounded development, helping students become not just high achievers academically, but also thoughtful, creative, and confident individuals.

Pathways to Universities Worldwide

The British curriculum offers clear and defined pathways for students to continue their education at top universities around the world. Students graduating with IGCSEs and A-Levels from a British curriculum school are well-prepared to apply to universities in the UK, Australia, the US, and other global education hubs. At IIS, students are not only given the academic tools to succeed but are also equipped with the skills and confidence to navigate the university application process. IIS’s global recognition, coupled with its strong ties to universities worldwide, provides students with various opportunities to further their education and career prospects. IIS alumni have gone on to excel at universities globally, with several receiving Pearson Learner Awards for their exceptional achievements, further proving the quality of education they received.

Student Successes

A prime example of how the British curriculum at IIS prepares students for success is the Pearson Learner Awards. One IIS student’s achievement in receiving the award for outstanding performance highlights the school’s dedication to academic excellence and personal development. The Pearson Learner Awards recognise students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance and commitment to their studies. IIS students have been consistently recognised for their achievements, which further reinforces the school’s ability to empower students to reach their full potential.
