Which school did you guess?
Many parents assume it’s RI, HCI or ACS(I).
Here are a few interesting observation:
- SJI (IB) currently has the highest estimated 6-year fees.
- IB pathways generally cost more than traditional IP pathways.
- Specialised Independent Schools (SOTA, Sports School, NUS High) have a different funding model from mainstream IP schools.
- The fees shown are already heavily subsidised for Singapore Citizens. Comparable IB programmes at private international schools can cost 5–6 times more.

School fees are only one consideration.
The right-fit school depends on your child’s:
- Academic strengths (STEM or humanities)
- Learning style (exam-based or project-based)
- University goals (local or overseas)
