Since its launch in 2002, the Global Schoolhouse initiative has helped to build up the Singapore Education brand-name, drawing world-class universities like INSEAD, Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business and New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts to set up operations here. Today, Singapore is home to 16 leading foreign tertiary institutions and 44 pre-tertiary schools offering international curricula.  

 

These institutions represent the best in their respective fields, across a spectrum of disciplines ranging from business and management to biomedical sciences, engineering and applied sciences. Further enriching the education scene is the growing number of specialised schools in the niche areas of fine arts, design, media and hospitality.

 

The many schools and institutions that have based themselves in Singapore are not only dedicated to serving the local market, but are also using Singapore as a springboard to expand into the rest of the region. Singapore-based institutions such as Anglo-Chinese School (International) and Raffles Education have also successfully brought the Singapore Education brand-name to the region.

 

Over the long-term, Singapore aims to develop a vibrant community of tertiary, pre-tertiary and corporate training institutions. Supported by a diverse range of institutions, Singapore plans to attract even more students, faculty, researchers and professionals from all over the world to make the city-state a global talent hub.
