Which is the best international school in Singapore for MYP among Stamford American School, GEMS World Academy and Canadian International School?

Many International Schools offer the Middle Years Programme, a component of the International Baccalaureate Programme. The MYP requires students to take courses in eight subject areas: 2 languages, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Arts, Design and Physical Education every year. The curriculum is intended for Grades 6-10 and is a bridge to the rigorous International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. This well-rounded approach should instil confidence and critical thinking skills, empowering students to take ownership of their learning and emerge as capable leaders who can come up with actionable solutions to real-world problems. Several international ​schools in Singapore offer the MYP, including Global Indian International School, Canadian International School, and Stanford American School.

Rankings vary, depending on the source. But all three schools are consistently rated among the top international institutions in Singapore.

Here is a brief overview of what each offers.

Global Indian International School or GIIS Singapore combines hands-on, modern teaching methods and value-based education. It offers a positive school environment with well-quipped classrooms and a SMART campus.

​The school

environment has been specifically designed to enhance and deepen your child’s learning experiences. The Bridge Programme gives them the one-on-one support they need to quickly catch up with their peers and settle in more easily.

At the Stamford American International School, the IB is the backbone of the learning framework, along with American Education Reaches Out standards. SAIS spans two campuses. The main campus educates students from early childhood through Grade 12. What sets SAIS apart is that it offers the Advanced Placement Programme for its secondary students, as well as university-preparedness testing from Grade 8 onwards. Stamford American International School is the first and only institution to offer this hybrid approach to pre-university coursework. The school boasts superb amenities and has a reputation for innovative learning and high standards.

The Canadian International School is also highly regarded. With about 3,000 students, it's one of the larger international schools. However, its "school within a school" model (separate areas for early childhood, primary and secondary classrooms) gives children benefits similar to what they would enjoy in a smaller environment.

While some international schools offer multiple curricula, or require students to transition from one framework to another between primary and ​secondary school​, CIS provides the IB framework consistently throughout all grade levels, believing it to

be the best preparation for university. The Lakeside campus also provides bilingual programmes to ensure students can achieve fluency in more than one language. The school emphasises STEAM (Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Mathematics), with designated spaces for collaboration and innovation.

Like some of its competitors, World GEMS Academy offers the IB curriculum from early childhood to Grade 12. However, the Yishun school offers two options for its secondary

students: the IB Diploma Programme (DP) and the IB Career-Related Programme (CP). As one of Singapore's mid-sized international schools, it enrols nearly 1,000 students each year. Middle years classes are limited to 24 students, and students at this level have the option to take the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams, and most choose to do so.
