NPS International School Singapore

What NPS International School Singapore does

NPS International School Singapore (NPSI) is a private K-12 international school founded in 2008 and operating as part of the Indian-origin NPS Group of Schools, which has a 65-year legacy spanning 14 schools and approximately 15,000 students globally. NPSI delivers a continuous educational pathway from Nursery (age 3) through Grade 12 across two Singapore campuses: the Hillside Primary Campus (11 Hillside Drive) and the Scotts Secondary Campus (25 Scotts Road, a ~100,000 sq ft purpose-built facility relocated in 2023). The school offers three internationally recognised high-school pathways — Cambridge IGCSE, Indian CBSE, and the IB Diploma Programme — alongside dedicated STEM, sports, arts, and university counselling programmes.

The school's core technology and product layer centres on its integrated curriculum, supported by purpose-built facilities including an Innovation Centre, MakerSpaces, science and design & technology labs, dance/drama/art studios, and sports courts. Academically, NPSI is ranked 3rd among Singapore's top IB World Schools and recorded the highest average IB score in Singapore in 2025 (38.9/45), with 79% of graduates pursuing STEM degrees and placements at Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and 100+ other universities. Faculty quality is a core feature: approximately 60% of teachers hold postgraduate degrees and roughly 75% have at least ten years of teaching experience, supporting a 1:13 teacher-to-student ratio and average class size of 25.

NPSI operates a direct-to-consumer tuition model with per-term billing (4-month terms across three fee periods annually) and tiered pricing by grade and pathway. Monthly tuition ranges from S$1,350 (Nursery) to S$2,975 (IB Diploma Programme new joinees), with separate facilities, activities, and materials fees, plus a one-time application fee of S$200 (or S$3,600 for IBDP new joinees). Additional revenue comes from Sports Academy, Extra-Curricular Activities, and outbound trips. The school is regulated by Singapore's Committee for Private Education under the Enhanced Registration Framework and holds the Four-Year Edutrust Award; there is no public ownership, no external funding, and no app or digital product layer.
