EtonHouse International School is a Singapore grown education group whose international school in Singapore is best known for its all through Orchard Road campus. That campus, opened in 2018, is the only EtonHouse site in the city to run a complete pathway from Year 1 to Year 13, for students aged 5 to 18. It teaches the IB Primary Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma, aligned with the English National Curriculum and delivered through the inquiry led approach the group is known for. On fees it sits in the mid to upper band rather than at the premium top, which is part of why families weighing value against an IB pathway often shortlist it.

Curriculum and academics
EtonHouse builds its academic offer around inquiry led learning from the earliest years. At the Orchard campus the primary phase follows the IB Primary Years Programme, a transdisciplinary framework in which children explore units of inquiry across subjects rather than studying them in isolation. The middle years lead into Cambridge IGCSE, and the sixth form runs the IB Diploma, so a student can move from age five to university entry on one campus and one coherent philosophy. The group describes the curriculum as aligned with the English National Curriculum, which gives the inquiry approach a familiar academic backbone.
The school notes that the Orchard campus achieved its IB authorisation within a short period of opening, a sign of how quickly it was set up to deliver the full continuum. For families comparing it against the city's other international schools, our editorial round up of the best international schools in Singapore gives the wider field, and as always it is worth asking the school for its most recent IB Diploma and IGCSE results.

EtonHouse International School fees
EtonHouse sits in the mid to upper band for Singapore international schools rather than at the premium top occupied by the most established names. Our Singapore international school fees guide sets out the city's tiers in full, with tuition typically rising through the school so that the IB Diploma years are the most expensive. Treat any single figure as a guide and confirm the published schedule with the school, since rates differ by stage and by campus.
Beyond tuition, budget for the usual additional costs an international school charges, a non refundable application fee, a registration fee, a refundable deposit and optional bus fees. Because tuition climbs as a child moves up the school, it helps to model several years ahead rather than the first year alone. Our fee calculator brings those line items together.
Admissions
The academic year runs from August, and the main intake follows it, with rolling entry where places allow. Admission involves an application with school reports, an age appropriate assessment and a conversation about the child's prior learning and any English language support needs, with older applicants reviewed on prior study. Popular entry points can carry waiting lists, so early application matters.
Because the Orchard campus runs the full Year 1 to 13 pathway, families joining early are choosing a route through the whole school, so it is worth asking how progression between the PYP, IGCSE and IB Diploma stages is handled and confirming availability for the specific year group before accepting a place.
Location and who goes there
The Orchard campus is in the heart of the city on Orchard Road, the only international school on that stretch, which makes it unusually central for a school running all the way to age eighteen. That location suits families based in the central districts or commuting into the core, and it shortens the journey for parents who work in the city centre. The community is internationally mixed, drawing on the wide expatriate population that clusters around central Singapore, with the inquiry led ethos a common reason families choose it.
