Developed in partnership with St Paul’s Girls’ School in London, the Singapore school will welcome girls and boys through a phased opening of its age groups.
SPGS International School (Singapore) has celebrated the official opening of its campus at 20 Harbour Drive ahead of welcoming its first students in January 2027.
The school’s announcement, published on 12 November, says British High Commissioner to Singapore Nik Mehta joined founding families and colleagues from London and Singapore for the celebration.
The event marks a campus milestone rather than the start of teaching. The co-educational school is being developed with St Paul’s Girls’ School in London and will offer an enhanced English National Curriculum, with a planned progression to IGCSEs and A levels.
A January Intake and August Expansion
The founding intake is planned for Playgroup through Year 4 in January, with Playgroup intended for children from 18 months. The school’s Early Years website states that provision remains subject to Early Childhood Development Agency licensing approval.
Years 5 and 6 and the first Senior School cohort are scheduled to follow in August 2027. As the senior provision develops, the school plans specialist School Directed Courses in music, art, drama, creative technology and computer science.
The former PSA Vista building has been adapted for the campus. The school’s facilities overview describes classrooms, libraries and specialist spaces for science, design and creative learning, alongside areas for wellbeing and community activities.
William Forse Leads the Founding Community
Founding Head of School William Forse moved to Singapore in July to oversee preparations, according to his November interview with Expat Living.
Previously Headmaster of King’s College International School Bangkok, he brings more than 15 years of education experience.
In his official welcome message, Forse sets out an approach centred on knowing students individually, encouraging independent thought and building relationships between teachers, children and families.
Those are the school’s stated aims, rather than outcomes already demonstrated by its founding intake.
Applications are open. The admissions overview says decisions consider factors including age, previous educational experience, academic and English-language readiness, available places and the school’s ability to provide appropriate support.
Applicable immigration and government requirements must also be met before attendance begins.
The school says no single test score or report determines admission in isolation. Families can use admissions discussions to clarify year-group placement and the support available at their intended entry stage.
Families can review the entry stages and arrange a campus visit through the school’s admissions team.
