The International Programme provides a strong academic curriculum which meets the needs of foreign students. It combines the best of the Singapore curriculum with key elements of the International curriculum approach before students commence the Cambridge curriculum in their secondary years.
Students complete their education with a choice of either Cambridge International A Level in their final year.
Our programmes include a STEM focus with elements of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics explored through a problem-based and applied learning approach from kindergarten to high school.
An Outward Bound course is also built into our programmes for students from Year 4 to Year 12. The Outward Bound course is designed to build self-confidence and strengthen leadership skills such as teamwork, perseverance and effective communication.
- Heavy focus on English language skills (English + Nexgen’s English Competency Programme (neo™))
- Singapore Maths and Science which have a strong international academic reputation
- Chinese and Vietnamese Languages offered
- Essential soft-skills are built through the Western curriculum elements, including cooperative learning, team work, research skills, critical thinking, time management and study skills
- A school-wide Virtues Programme reinforces values and builds strong character traits
- ICT skills and e-learning methods are included from early years to final years
- STEM (including Robotics and Coding)
Preschool
Preschool
KinderWorld provides Pre-school education for children from 18 months to below 6 years.
Classes are kept small with a foreign teacher leading the class with the assistance of a Vietnamese teacher according to the teacher-student ratio. This ensures an optimal environment in which young minds learn and develop.
Our Kindergarten program is designed to help each child reach their full potential in an environment that is challenging, secure and nurturing. This is an exciting entry into your child’s formal education and it is our hope that it will be a very positive beginning!
We believe that young children learn through active, purposeful interactions with a wide variety of learning materials and activities which develop the growth of the whole child. Because young children are concrete learners, they need to be able to learn by using all their senses and by trying things out on their own.

Medicine
Overview
Medical school is an exciting journey that prepares aspiring doctors for their future
careers. Here’s a general overview of what you can expect during your medical education:a. Medical schools typically have a four-year curriculum.
b. The first two years focus on preclinical training, where you learn foundational
medical concepts, body structure and functions, diseases, diagnoses, and
treatment approaches.c. The last two years involve clinical rotations, where you gain hands-on experience in
major medical specialties by working with patients under supervision.d. After medical school, you’ll spend 3–7 years in residency to specialize further and
become a practicing physician.Recommended A-level subjects
– Chemistry (9700)
– Mathematics (9709)
– Biology (9700)
– Choice: Economics (9708) – Business (9609) – Physics (9702)
Chemistry: A strong foundation in chemistry is essential for understanding biological processes, drug interactions, and medical treatments.
Biology: Biology provides insights into human anatomy, physiology, genetics, and cellular
processes. It’s a fundamental subject for aspiring medical professionals.Mathematics: Basic math skills are necessary for interpreting data, drug dosages, and medical
statistics.

Engineering
Overview
An Engineering degree is a comprehensive academic program that prepares students for careers in
various fields of engineering, such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and aerospace
engineering, among others. These programs typically last four to five years and combine rigorous
coursework with hands-on laboratory experiences and design projects. Here’s what you can expect
from an engineering program:a. Bachelor’s Degree: The most common undergraduate option, lasting four to five
years. Students choose a specific engineering discipline and gain practical skills
through hands-on experiences.b. Master’s Degree: A graduate-level program allowing students to deepen their
expertise in a specific field. Typically, one to two years long, master’s programs may
require a thesis or capstone project.Recommended A-level subjects
– Mathematics (9709)
– Physics (9702)
– Chemistry (9701)
– Choice: Computer Science (9418) – Economics (9708) – Business (9609)
Mathematics: This is the most crucial A-level for engineering. All engineering courses involve a strong mathematical component, used for understanding and modeling processes relevant to each
engineering discipline.Physics: Physics is closely related to engineering and provides a solid foundation for various engineering fields
Chemistry: While not always essential, chemistry is important for certain engineering disciplines, such as Chemical Engineering.
Computer Science: Computer science is advantageous for courses like Electronic Engineering or Computer Science itself.
