We offer world-class academic preparation for students from Nursery to Grade 12 while developing the values for global citizenship and instilling a passion for lifelong learning. In addition, we offer students in Grades 9 & 10 the ability to also complete the internationally recognised IGCSE course and examination.

The caring approach our teachers employ, within a modern, child-focused environment creates a safe home away from home for students. Our low student-teacher ratio and globally experienced teaching faculty ensure that our school provides personalised learning opportunities for the international student community in Singapore.

GEMS (Singapore), in partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), provides University Foundation courses and credits for Grade 11 and 12 students, accelerating progress towards your career within the fields of art, design, aviation and aeronautical engineering.

“We have four children enrolled: one in high school, one in middle school, one in primary and our youngest one has started at the Little GEMS Nursery in January 2019. We were impressed by the staff and facilities from the first visit to the school. Our children settled in surprisingly fast and enjoy the school very much. It is an engaging, warm and fun learning environment that offers different opportunities and develops real-life skills in the classroom and beyond."

“The IB Diploma Programme was an extremely challenging experience that I was privileged to undergo at GEMS (Singapore). The variety of subjects offered at GEMS allowed me to focus on particular areas of interest and passion such as Psychology, Biology and Literature - all of which I continue to pursue at university. The endless support and advice provided by the Academic Advisor enabled us to tackle and accomplish the requirements needed to get into our desired universities."
