Academic Excellence

At Singapore American School (SAS), learning is designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of discovery across every stage of a student’s journey. In the Early Learning Center (ELC), a Reggio Emilia-inspired, inquiry-based programme nurtures young children’s curiosity and competence. Purposeful learning spaces and specialist classes such as Chinese and Move & Groove enrich each child’s early experiences through meaningful, play-based learning. The Elementary School builds strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and creativity through core subjects and specialist lessons in art, music, PE, and world languages. With over 85 after-school activities, experiential learning, and a caring community, students develop curiosity, confidence, and social-emotional resilience. In Middle School, students learn in a supportive, engaging environment that balances academic challenge with well-being. Programmes such as TRi Time and Classroom Without Walls allow students to explore interests, apply learning in real-world contexts, and grow in independence and responsibility. The High School offers an exemplary American curriculum, including 25+ Advanced Placement (AP) courses, AP Capstone, and the innovative Catalyst and Quest programmes. Students are encouraged to pursue individual passions through academics, athletics, and the arts — preparing them to thrive at leading universities and beyond.
