Brighton College (Singapore)

What Brighton College (Singapore) does

Brighton College (Singapore) is a British international private school operating from a single campus at 1 Chuan Lane, Singapore 554299, under the Brighton College brand licence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cognita Asia Holdings Pte Ltd. Founded in 2020, it delivers the British curriculum continuously from age 18 months through 18 years, structured as Pre-Prep (Early Years Foundation Stage, ages 18 months–7), Prep School (Key Stage 2, ages 7–11), and Senior School (Key Stage 3, IGCSE via Cambridge Assessment and Pearson Edexcel in Years 10–11, and A-levels in the Sixth Form with an optional Extended Project Qualification). Supporting programmes include the English as an Additional Language (EAL) offering with Preparatory Course for Primary (PCP) for beginners, Speech and Drama, and a Year 9 Presentation Skills course.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional third-party education software suite rather than proprietary IP: Microsoft Teams, Seesaw, Tapestry, and Google Classroom constitute the Virtual Learning Platform, while iSAMS serves as the Management Information System for student records and school administration. EAL placement uses WIDA and SLATE Plus assessment tools. The school holds Singapore Private Education Institution (PEI) registration (201904884D, valid 14 October 2023 – 13 October 2027) and participates in the EduTrust Certification Scheme.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring annual tuition fees billed across three academic terms (August–June), supplemented by one-time registration/enrolment fees of SGD 2,000–5,000, EAL programme fees, home-to-school bus transport (JD Transport in AY 2025/26, transitioning to ComfortDelGro in AY 2026/27 at SGD 2,000–5,000 per year), and uniform pass-through revenue via external supplier Ten Feet Tall. Customer segments comprise expatriate families, British families relocating to Singapore, and local Singaporean families seeking premium international education, acquired through a direct field sales motion anchored on weekly open mornings, virtual open houses, personalised campus tours, and a Family Referral Programme offering a 5% tuition discount.
