About the organisation
Our client, SIS, is a highly regarded International school located in India, Mumbai.
Singapore International School is located in the midst of nature, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai life. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, it is the only co-educational institution in Mumbai that provides term, monthly, weekly and day boarding facilities.
SIS offers a comprehensive programme structured in four levels. From Kindergarten through Grade 6, learning is anchored in the Singaporean curriculum. The Reggio Emilia approach has also been used within the framework of the IB Primary Years Programme.
In Grades 7 and 8, the Pre-IGCSE programme leads to the IGCSE programme of Grades 9 and 10 which culminates in the Cambridge exams at the end of Grade 10. The IGCSE programme at SIS is tailored to prepare students for the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) which follows in Grades 11 and 12.
Academic support includes enrichment, information literacy, programmes for special education needs and gifted students, personal and career counselling. Sports and games and other co-curricular programmes promote individualisation of learning and holistic development of each child.
The green expanse of the school campus, spread over 8 acres, is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. SIS offers the internationally recognized curricula of IGCSE and IB with the aim of developing students to be responsible global citizens while retaining the Indian ethos.
Singapore International School is committed to the holistic development of each child through an academic programme which enhances learning by putting the child at the centre of the programme.
