WELCOME TO IFS EIS KINDERGARTEN & GRADE 1
A Premium English-Language International School Experience in Singapore
A school that has It All
Welcome to a New Pathway for Global Education
Choosing the right school is one of the most meaningful decisions a parent makes. You want a place where your child can thrive academically, feel confident and supported, build global awareness, and grow in a warm, welcoming environment.
The English International Stream (EIS) at the International French School (Singapore) offers exactly that – a world-class, English-language education for children aged 3 to 6, enriched with multilingual opportunities, nurturing teachers, and the renowned “French Touch” of academic excellence.
Designed especially to meet the needs of Singaporean and expatriate families living in Singapore and those preparing to relocate, the EIS opens the doors of IFS wider than ever before — inviting families who want the benefits of an English-language international school in Singapore and the strengths of the French educational tradition.
IFS EIS – where global education meets French excellence in a multilingual, multicultural setting.
A World-Class Education
What Is the English International Stream (EIS)?
Curious minds, structured thinking, global perspectives – this is the IFS way.
The EIS is a dedicated, English-taught programme launched for Kindergarten and Grade 1 (ages 3 – 6).
It is purpose-built for families who want a structured, internationally aligned, inquiry-driven early years curriculum – without the need for French proficiency.
Children learn through a balance of structure and play: songs, stories, hands-on activities, literacy games, and meaningful exploration that build strong foundations for reading, writing, numeracy, and creativity.
This stream is designed for parents who value:
- English-language instruction
- A structured, academically strong foundation
- A globally minded, discovery-based learning approach
- Access to IFS’s world-class facilities and community
A Global Perspective
Our Academic Advantage: The “IFS EIS” Framework
The EIS blends two powerful educational strengths:
- The proven structure of the French National Education curriculum
- A globally recognised, inquiry-driven learning model that builds curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
This unique blend equips children with:
- Strong early literacy and numeracy skills
- Creativity and curiosity through hands-on, project-based learning
- Confidence to communicate ideas
- Flexibility in thinking and problem-solving
- Exposure to cultural diversity from the earliest years
A forward-looking curriculum that nurtures creativity, connection, and confidence.
An English-Taught Programme for the Global Family
A Multilingual Beginning: English + French or Mandarin
A multilingual horizon for tomorrow’s global citizens.
While EIS is an English-first programme, we believe strongly in the power of multilingualism.
3 hours per week, children benefit from early exposure to:
Mandarin
Integrated meaningfully into the classroom, supporting families who value Asian languages and cultural roots.
Or French
A global language that opens doors and gives children a competitive edge.
This multilingual foundation strengthens cognitive development, adaptability, and cultural awareness.
