He first and foremost needs a confirmed place in a local MBA course.
Then he needs to apply for a student pass. The school can help him with that and provide the necessary paperwork.

He might be allowed to apply, but that doesn't mean he will get it.
To be granted PR is a case-by-case decision by the authorities with criteria not published (and sometimes changing). Generally, he'd have to work in Singapore for a few years before given PR, or be married to a Singaporean.
Please note that finding a job and getting an EP is also very difficult now, but until he's done his MBA, things might (or might not) be different again.
There's lots of information about the topic on this forum. Search for it!

No. It means you are an American example of the local Singapore version of a punching bag. You are a Permanent Resident (a PR). Hopefully they will Singaporean green card holders the same treatment as Singapore is planning to and is giving to it's PR's.

Your kids will receive U.S. citizenship as per the 14th amendment to the U.S. constitution, but I don't know what impact that has on their Singaporean status.

Your kids are allowed to register for SG Citizenship by descent of a SG Parent and become Sger till the age of 21 where they have to choose either one of the citizenship

Of course, if the are registered as Singapore Citizens as well, thereby having dual citizenship, if any of them are male, they will be required to do National Service so think wisely.
