Six awards, can you believe it?! EtonHouse International Education Group swept us away at our recent Education Awards 2025, well proving its worth in both the international school and preschool categories.

No surprises here, as EtonHouse is known as one of Singapore’s leading education providers. Here’s how it achieved such crowning glory.
Small but formidable
EtonHouse International School Orchard may be small, but boy does it prove its worth. With a little more than 270 students in its community, the school’s small size allows it to offer a highly personalised education from primary to high school. It’s dedicated to giving children the best start in life — guided by the pillars of individuality, community, and care, the school offers a safe and nurturing environment for its students. Small class sizes and personalised support is key, revolving around a holistic approach that includes outdoor experiential learning, a life skills programme, and a line-up of electives in the EtonCore programme. A fab buddy system helps to integrate new students into school life, alongside a great home-school partnership which engages and involves parents in their children’s journeys throughout the year.
The school aces its bilingual programmes
EtonHouse International School Broadrick’s Mandarin Immersion Pathway has been crowned champion for the Best Bilingual Programme award three years in a row, as well as Best Language Programme in 2022! EtonHouse’s stellar bilingual programmes come out tops in both the preschool and international categories, which is really quite a feat. In preschool, young learners in the EtonHouse ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion Programme at the Upper Bukit Timah campus were part of the Global Classroom project, which gave them the opportunity to connect with their peers over at EtonHouse Kindergarten in Suzhou via a cultural exchange. Plus, did you know that Etonhouse Broadrick’s Mandarin Immersion Pathway was Singapore’s first international school to align a primary bilingual programme with the IB PYP in 2011? This kickstarts an intensive Mandarin immersion right from Year 1 to establish a strong language foundation. Students in Years 2 to 6 take on a balanced bilingual programme, and have consistently performed well in the annual Youth Chinese Test.
Its preschool stands out among the rest
Located in the heart of Orchard Road, EtonHouse International Pre-School Claymore brings children, families, and educators together to experience the joy of learning. It’s inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which gives emphasis to children’s voices, creativity, and agency. What’s more, the school goes one step further in reinterpreting this approach to cater to Singapore’s multicultural and bilingual setting. Its commitment to high-quality teaching and learning has also made the school a hub for professional learning, welcoming international researchers, educators, and visitors from the Reggio Children network.
However, no institution can function without a capable team at its reins
Luckily for EtonHouse, it has a simply wonderful team at its helm! Special mention goes to Josephyne Ho of EtonHouse Pre-School Mountbatten 223 (a three-time Principal of the Year winner) and Li Linjing of EtonHouse Newton Pre-School, both of whom have dedicated their careers to helping students flourish under their care.
We’re super impressed, EtonHouse International Education Group!
