NORTH LONDON COLLEGIATE SCHOOL ( SINGAPORE )
CELEBRATES ITS FOUNDING YEAR
NLCS ( Singapore ) is proud to be celebrating the outstanding success of its inaugural year in South East Asia . Launching a new school during recent global events has been an unforgettable and truly remarkable journey , demonstrating the resilience , grit and innovation of teachers and students alike .
The positivity of our community shone through during our tenure in our temporary campus at the beginning of the academic year and the move to our state of the art , purpose built home on Depot Road in January 2021 .
Founding Principal , Paul Friend , reflects on the year :
“ It ’ s been about growth , development , and broadening horizons . It ’ s been about building character and resilience , about supporting each other and , above all , about making the most of what ’ s before us . As Principal , I quite literally couldn ’ t be prouder .”
NLCS ( Singapore ) takes pride in being the fourth school in the prestigious NLCS network drawing on the rich history and tradition of the founding school in the UK . Our aim is to provide our students with an inspirational and life changing educational experience that will ensure they become successful , well rounded and compassionate human beings . NLCS ( Singapore ) produces scholars and critical thinkers , individuals who have the ability and drive to bring positive change to the world around them .
Our first class education is delivered by a team of passionate teachers who are all subject specialists and experts in their field . We empower our teachers to inspire a love for their subjects and deliver a broad and flexible curriculum that goes beyond the syllabus . With a focus on academic rigour , we build on students ’ confidence to aim high and fulfil their potential and ambition . This paves the way for a “ floors , not ceilings approach ” and inspires life-long learning .
A focus on outstanding pastoral care , ensures we meet the needs of the individual , not just the needs of the cohort . We recognise that each and every classroom is filled with unique individuals who have different interests , skills , talents , experiences and world views .
We create a caring and supportive environment both in and out of the classroom , fostering a community built on positive relationships between staff and students and between students themselves .
