The International French School (Singapore) (IFS) is proud to announce an innovative co-hosting partnership with The GUILD International College. Through this joint initiative, we are opening our campus premises to host students, teachers, and staff from The GUILD, utilising designated available space to foster a deeply inclusive, collaborative, and socially responsible learning environment.
The GUILD is Singapore’s first international college dedicated to neurodiverse learners aged 7 to 20+, providing personalized academic, social, and vocational pathways. As part of this arrangement, we look forward to welcoming up to 70 students and 20 staff members from The GUILD to our campus community.
Seamless Integration & Campus Optimisation
The GUILD will occupy designated, currently unused spaces on levels #4 and #5 of Block S. The partnership has been meticulously planned to ensure zero disruption to daily IFS teaching schedules, academic timetables, or extracurricular activities.
Alongside their dedicated classrooms, GUILD students will access outdoor play areas and shared facilities, such as the Gymnasium, under a carefully coordinated schedule.
This collaboration represents a meaningful milestone for our school, maximising our campus resources while bringing our core values of compassion, active empathy, and diversity to life every day.
A Word from School Leadership
“At IFS, our mission is to shape curious, confident, and empathetic global citizens who grow surrounded by diversity and respect. This partnership with The GUILD is a powerful, practical manifestation of those values. By welcoming a fellow educational institution with such a vital and specialized mission, we are not only optimizing our campus resources, but we are also demonstrating our commitment to being an active, supportive, and compassionate neighbour within the wider Singapore community. Our students will have the invaluable opportunity to learn that diversity extends beyond cultural backgrounds to include learning and neurological differences, teaching them active empathy in their daily lives.”
– Mathieu Bellamy, President of the IFS Conseil Exécutif (Board)
“We are thrilled to embark on this co-hosting journey with the International French School (Singapore). At The GUILD, our core objective is to offer an inclusive, safe, and empowering environment where neurodiverse learners can thrive, discover their unique strengths, and co-create their future. Having our teachers and students hosted at IFS’s world-class facilities opens up incredible pathways for organic, side-by-side growth. We look forward to exploring collaborative peer-to-peer initiatives in sports, music, and the visual and performing arts. Co-existing in this vibrant, multicultural environment will break down conventional barriers of inclusion, allowing students from both of our communities to learn, succeed, and build lasting communication and life skills together.”
– Jayne Nadarajoo, Founder & Head of The GUILD International College
This co-hosting arrangement will begin in September, and we cannot wait to see the positive impact this shared environment will bring to both student bodies.
