For sporty kids, especially those into rugby, there are definitely some
International Schools in Singapore that stand out.
Tanglin Trust School is a popular choice for families from New Zealand and the UK, it offers a British curriculum (up to IGCSE and A-Levels or IB) and has a strong emphasis on sports, including rugby. Their facilities are excellent, and they participate in competitive inter-school leagues.
Australian International School (AIS) is another strong contender, especially for families from this region. AIS runs the Australian curriculum with IB in senior years, and has a big focus on sport, rugby. Their sports programme is pretty extensive and very community-driven.
UWCSEA (United World College) is broader in its international student body and known for holistic education. Rugby isn’t always a primary sport on offer, depending on the campus and age group, but they do offer a wide variety of athletics and are very focused on developing well-rounded students.
If you know anyone still in the school search process and are comparing curriculum, sport offerings, or fees, I’d suggest trying doris.school. it’s a free tool that helps narrow down school options based on your child’s interests and your family’s priorities. Super helpful for expat families making decisions from abroad. Let me know if you’d like more detailed comparisons!
