Knightsbridge House International School, often shortened to KBH, is one of the newer names in Singapore and has built a following among families who want a strong bilingual option at an accessible fee. It follows the Cambridge pathway and runs an English medium track alongside a bilingual Mandarin and English track, with campuses that serve the centre and the east of the island. For relocating parents the practical questions are how the bilingual model works, where the fees land and which campus fits the commute, and that is what this profile covers.

Curriculum and academics
Knightsbridge House follows the Cambridge curriculum from Year 1 through to Cambridge IGCSE in the upper secondary years. What makes it distinctive in the value tier is the bilingual model. Families can choose an English medium programme or a bilingual Mandarin and English programme, which appeals both to Chinese speaking families who want to maintain the language and to international families who want their child to gain real fluency in Mandarin while following a British style academic path.
For parents the appeal is a modern, purpose designed setting at an accessible fee, with the Bukit Merah campus offering a full journey through the school and the newer Changi campus extending provision into the east. Because the school is young and growing, the year range on offer can differ by campus, so it is important to confirm exactly which years run where before you apply.
The honest way to judge fit is to weigh the bilingual promise against your family's language goals. If you want your child to leave with strong Mandarin as well as recognised Cambridge qualifications, the bilingual track is a genuine draw. Ask about class sizes, the balance of languages across the week and how the school supports students who join with little or no Mandarin.

Knightsbridge House International School fees
Knightsbridge House sits in the value band for Singapore, which has been central to its appeal as a newer school. Our Singapore international school fees guide explains how the local market is tiered and where affordable Cambridge schools tend to fall. Fees are set by year group, and because provision differs by campus it is worth confirming the schedule for the campus your child would attend.
Alongside tuition, budget for a one off application or registration fee, a deposit and optional costs such as examination entry, resources, uniform and transport. Singapore charges the same fees to citizens and international students at private schools, so plan against the published schedule for your child's year and factor in annual increases as your child moves up the school.
To see where that leaves you against the rest of the city, weigh KBH among the names in our best international schools in Singapore guide and check the Singapore secondary fees breakdown for the examination years. Ask the school directly for the current schedule for your chosen campus and track.
Admissions
Admissions at Knightsbridge House start with choosing the campus and the language track, since the English medium and bilingual programmes have different profiles. The school assesses each applicant to place them in the right year, and as a growing school it is used to welcoming families partway through the academic year. Speak to the admissions team early about availability at your preferred campus.
Gather recent school reports before you apply, as these help the school place a student correctly and, for the bilingual track, gauge the right level of Mandarin support. Families new to Mandarin should ask how beginners are supported so the bilingual promise is realistic for their child.
Ask about the documents needed for a student pass, the fees due on acceptance and how the school handles a mid year arrival. If your child is heading towards IGCSE, discuss subject choices and the timeline early so the plan is clear.
Location and who goes there
Knightsbridge House runs a campus in Bukit Merah in the central southern part of the island and a newer campus in Changi in the east. That spread gives families a choice of catchment, which is unusual for a school of its size and helps with the daily commute depending on where you live.
The intake is international and bilingual, including Chinese speaking families maintaining the language and international families seeking Mandarin fluency alongside a Cambridge education. As with any Singapore school, confirm which campus offers your child's year, check the current address and test the commute from your intended home before you commit.
