Welcome to Stamford American International School in Singapore

At Stamford American International School, pupils are given the academic foundations, breadth of experience and growing independence to make meaningful choices about what comes next.

From Early Years through High School, Stamford combines rigorous American academic standards with internationally recognized IB programs and a wide range of senior pathways. Pupils can explore languages, the arts, sport, technology and other interests alongside their core learning, with more choice opening up as they progress through school.

Across our Early Learning Village and Woodleigh Campus, the focus is clear: know each pupil well, challenge them appropriately and give them the confidence to explore different possibilities without prescribing a single path.

Learning That Grows With Your Child

From a child’s first questions to the choices they make before graduation, each stage at Stamford builds on the last, with greater independence, challenge and choice as students grow.

Early Years

For children aged 18 months to 6 years, purposeful play, inquiry and hands-on exploration build strong foundations from the start. At the Early Learning Village, learning is Reggio-inspired, with the IB Primary Years Programme beginning from Pre-Kindergarten.

Elementary School

For students aged 6 to 11 years, Elementary School strengthens essential skills in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies while encouraging students to question, investigate and make connections through the IB Primary Years Programme and American academic standards.

Middle School

For students aged 12 to 14 years, the IB Middle Years Programme brings greater academic challenge and independence. Students explore a broad range of subjects and develop the research, thinking and self-management skills they need for what comes next.

High School

For students aged 15 to 18 years, choice becomes increasingly personal. Students progress through the MYP before choosing the full IBDP Programme or an individualized senior pathway combining AP, BTEC, individual IB Diploma and Stamford courses.

Foundational Academic English

For students in Grades 6 to 10 who need additional English preparation before entering PCS, our 10-week online FAE program builds academic English skills while introducing Stamford's approach to teaching and learning. It provides a foundation for students to develop their language skills and confidence before progressing toward PCS.

Preparatory Course for Secondary School

A 20-week, full-time program on campus for students in Grades 6 to 10. Through Mathematics, Science, Literature, and Humanities, students develop academic English in real subject contexts. Alongside reading, writing, listening, and speaking, they gain experience with inquiry-based learning as they prepare to join Stamford's mainstream Secondary curriculum.

Safeguarding and wellbeing live in our daily framework, through structured Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programming, dedicated advisory times, and integrated support specialists (from counselors to occupational therapists) in every sub-school.

September’s R U OK? Day and @cognitaschools Global Be Well Day gave our students and teachers a shared moment to pause, move, and reflect on that year-round commitment. It’s how we ensure every child emotionally thrives by feeling safe, seen, and ready to face what’s next.

A great education isn`t about telling students which path to take, it`s about giving them confidence to choose for themselves.

From our early years through senior graduation, Stamford pairs flexible academic pathways with a community that has every child`s back at every step.

Thank you to our families and staff for making these recognitions possible!

If you asked your younger self where you’d be today, would they have guessed right?

Probably not.

And maybe that’s the best part.

Our students here at Stamford explore so many things before they decide who they want to be. And even then, they have the courage and the skills to change direction, and thrive.

Our latest film is a little celebration of those that choose that path to what is possibile. 💌 #GoFearlessly #GoLions 🦁
