EtonHouse International School Broadrick is the bilingual primary campus of the EtonHouse group in Singapore, built around a dual language English and Mandarin education. It was the first international primary school in the city to offer a dual language programme, and it remains one of the clearest bilingual options for families who want their child genuinely literate in both languages. As an accredited IB World School it teaches the IB Primary Years Programme, with the curriculum designed for ages three to eleven and younger children accepted through the early years provision. On fees it sits in the mid band rather than the premium top, reflecting its primary stage focus.

Curriculum and academics
Broadrick teaches the IB Primary Years Programme, a transdisciplinary framework in which children work through six units of inquiry each year that draw together English, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts and personal, social and physical education. The inquiry led approach is meant to build attitudes for learning, with children developing social, self management, research, thinking and communication skills rather than absorbing isolated facts.
What sets Broadrick apart is the language model. The school offers two routes for Mandarin: students with strong interest and competence can take the Mandarin Immersion Pathway, with intensive Mandarin in Year 1 to build a foundation, then a balanced fifty fifty bilingual immersion from Year 2 to Year 6. Alongside Mandarin the school teaches Japanese, Hindi and English as an Additional Language as part of its integrated curriculum, which makes it a strong fit for families who want a serious bilingual education rather than a token second language. Ask the school how each pathway is staffed and assessed before choosing.

EtonHouse Broadrick fees
As a primary stage bilingual school, Broadrick sits in the mid band for Singapore rather than at the premium top occupied by the all through senior schools. Our Singapore international school fees guide sets out the city's tiers in full and explains how primary only schools tend to price below schools that run all the way to the IB Diploma. Treat any single figure as a guide and confirm the published schedule with the school.
Beyond tuition, budget for the usual additional costs, a non refundable application fee, a registration fee, a refundable deposit and optional bus fees. The bilingual immersion pathway is part of the core programme rather than a paid add on, but it is still worth confirming what is and is not included when you request the fee schedule.
Admissions
The academic year runs from August, and the main intake follows it, with rolling entry where places allow. Admission involves an application with any school reports, an age appropriate assessment and a conversation about the child's language background, which matters more here than at an English only school because of the dual language model. The school will want to place a child on the right Mandarin pathway from the start.
Popular entry points, especially into the Mandarin Immersion Pathway, can carry waiting lists, so early application matters. Confirm availability for the specific year group and pathway before accepting a place.
Location and who goes there
The campus is on Broadrick Road in the east of central Singapore, a residential pocket that puts it within reach of the central and eastern districts where many expatriate families live. The bilingual focus draws a community that mixes international families wanting their children to gain real Mandarin with returning or locally based families who value an inquiry led English medium education alongside it. That blend is part of the appeal for parents planning a future that may involve Greater China.
