Reggio-inspired Inquire-Think-Learn curriculum of EtonHouse

Primary School Years – Grade 1 to 5:

A blend of the globally recognised Singapore Maths, UK National Curriculum for English, with the inquiry-based International Primary Curriculum (IPC)

Middle School Years – Grade 6 to 10:

The International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) used in Grades 6 to 8 is designed as a gateway to link the Middleton Primary Years to the Cambridge IGCSE programme undertaken in Grades 9 and 10. Our first cohort of IGCSE students will complete the 2-year course in December 2022.

High School Years – Grade 11 to 12:

Cambridge International A-Level (Advance Level) qualifications

Middleton International High School in Singapore will offer the Cambridge International AS (Advanced Subsidiary) & A (Advanced) Levels qualifications programme in Grade 11 and 12, also traditionally called Sixth Form. It is a rigorous pathway that prepares learners for university study and the globalised world, which is why top universities and employers worldwide value and recognise the AS & A Level qualifications. 

We do have a good mix of educators from diverse and international backgrounds. They are experienced and professionally qualified educators from Singapore, UK, USA, India, Australia, China etc. Most of our educators have an average of at least two to five years of teaching experience.

For the Early and Primary years, there are specialist teachers for Physical Education (PE) and Additional Language lessons. From K2 and above, students will also attend Art lessons conducted by an Arts specialist. In the Middle Years, students will have a homeroom teacher as their pastoral teacher and specialist teachers for all other subjects.

Middleton offers various interesting and engaging ECA options for our students ranging from sporting, artistic, cultural to recreational activities. The options change each semester based on student demand. Every student (K2 and above) can sign up for an internal teacher-led ECA that is included in the school fees. There are also ECAs conducted by external vendors, which are optional and chargeable at an additional cost of $200 - $800 per term (including 9% GST).

All students will be assessed by their English teacher for their English proficiency level during the first few weeks of school. If your child is identified to require additional support in English, he/she will be required to undertake the English Additional Language (EAL) Programme.

The duration and frequency that your child is required to undertake the EAL Programme will depend on your child’s learning ability/pace. EAL comes with an additional cost of $2,725 per year (including 9% GST).

Middleton offers a school meal subscription at an additional cost of $9 per day (ad-hoc) or $35 per week (including 9% GST). The school meal subscription is charged on a per term basis at $350 (including 9% GST) for a 10-week term. School meals include a daily morning tea break and lunch prepared by our in-house chefs.

Our Tampines campus offers additional languages in Mandarin, Hindi and French at an extra cost of $4,360 per year (including 9% GST). Additional language is optional, and it is conducted within school hours.

Students who are not taking an additional language will have a supervised self-study period.

No entrance assessment is required from Nursery 2 to Grade 8 unless the school report provided is an insufficient indicator of your child’s performance. At the time of review, the Academic Board will determine whether any assessments (chargeable at $109 after 9% GST) or interviews are required. All students applying for Grade 9 and above will be required to sit for an entrance assessment (chargeable at $109 after 9% GST).
