WHY WE STAND OUT
8 Core Competencies
At The Grange International School in Singapore, we offer a forward-thinking international primary education that nurtures both academic growth and global awareness. As a private primary school in Singapore, our unique approach is built around eight core competencies—design thinking, environmental stewardship, entrepreneurship, active citizenry, teamwork, partnerships, critical issue recognition, and service leadership. These elements are woven into the learning experience to help children develop the mindset, values, and skills needed to navigate an increasingly complex world with confidence and purpose.
Construction & Design
Respecting The Environment
Entrepreneurial Spirit
Active Citizenship
Creators see themselves as active global citizens who have a shared agency of our planet. They are passionate about their responsibilities to improve life on Earth. They are advocates of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and know that their actions can be personal, localised or far-reaching.
Teamwork & Partnerships
Creators embrace collaboration and partnership as an effective and efficient way to solving a problem. They understand that others’ strengths can complement or supplement their own. They are willing to adopt different roles in a team as the success of the mission outweighs individual accolade.
Original Ideas
Creators challenge their own thinking to come up with new and original ideas that, in turn, challenges others’ thinking and their mindsets. They are able to approach existing issues and situations with alternative viewpoints, in the hope to come up with original ideas, or to better existing ideas.
Recognising Issues
Creators gain knowledge and awareness by researching into common issues affecting humanity on a personal, community or global basis through a balance of primary and secondary sources of information, and in the process, they might change their mindset and perspective about the issue.
Service Leadership
Creators are true leaders who are selfless about taking meaningful actions to impact others and the environment. They are active in the school, local community and beyond and are willing to devote time and energy to community causes that they become passionate about.
International Primary Education Curriculum Overview
At The Grange, we embed innovation in teaching and learning through a holistic and balanced curriculum designed for primary school students. Our approach integrates inquiry-based learning with rigorous subject-focused education, ensuring students gain essential knowledge and skills while fostering creativity and critical thinking.
We incorporate some aspects of the renowned Singapore Maths to enhance mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities, while specialised subjects like Languages, Personal, Social, and Physical Education (PSPE), Music, Art, and Technology further enrich the learning experience. This well-rounded curriculum empowers students to thrive academically and personally in an engaging and supportive environment.

Words From Our Student’s Parents
This was our first experience in an international school outside our home country. Upon arrival, our child had limited English proficiency. During this time, the teachers and school staff provided immense support and helped her adapt to the school environment smoothly.
We are very pleased with our experience at Grange Institution. The teachers and staff are exceptionally kind and understanding, always supporting the children and creating a comfortable atmosphere for them.
Our daughter enjoyed going to school every day, made many new friends, and felt like a part of a close-knit community.
We especially want to highlight the cozy and heartfelt atmosphere of the school, which not only helps children learn but also supports their personal growth. We are grateful to the school for a wonderful year and the positive impact it has had on our daughter.
A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers and staff for their dedication and hard work!

The Cambridge Primary Curriculum subjects Mathematics, Science and English are taught in creative ways that enable the students to gain interest and eventually apply the knowledge they learned. The IPC curriculum takes the kids on a learning journey through the different themes in the Units of Learning using fun and interactive activities about the world around them. Every dinner is an exciting discussion about their day in school including chocolates, inventors, fossils and the Dalai Lama!

Teachers are one of the most important people in our lives. Our family is so glad that my daughter has met the most wonderful teachers at The Grange. Thank you so much your wisdom, kindness, and all the sweet moments created with our child. You are awesome and amazing!

The Additional English Language teacher conducts her classes to suit six-year-old Ayako’s pace of learning using engaging methods. The small class size also helps build her confidence in the language. Ayako can now speak confidently in English and we’re very satisfied with her progress! Friends always share that their child’s English language classes at school cost extra, but not at The Grange.

Parents of Ayako, Year 1B
The unique “family” atmosphere at The Grange is something we appreciate very much. Moving to a new country has, at times, made us feel lost and frustrated as parents, however, The Grange team has been so kind to talk to us, listen to our concerns and share their insights with us. Their care and sincere support has really helped not just our children but has been extended to even the parents! This is really a family school and we will remember the special efforts of the school for years to come!
