Top 20 A Level Schools in Singapore

Singapore has one of the strongest ecosystems globally for A Level study. Families can choose between Cambridge International A Levels, Pearson Edexcel A Levels, and the local Singapore-Cambridge GCE A Levels offered by junior colleges (JCs) and some private schools.

This guide focuses on schools and pathways with clear A Level provision and deliberately excludes full IB-only and American-only schools, even when they are popular for other reasons.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Not every school publishes the same level of detail for exam outcomes, but useful A Level datapoints include:

• A*/A (or A*/A/B) rate and how it trends over several cohorts
• Average grade per subject and average UCAS tariff (where available)
• Number of entries per subject (small classes with very high grades can look impressive but may be less representative)
• Top-in-country/world awards for Cambridge/Edexcel where applicable
• Selectivity and cohort size (context for raw percentages)

Where detailed statistics aren’t published, schools can still be strong options based on track record, university destinations, quality of teaching, and the strength of their exam support systems.

What to do next (quick checklist)

• Confirm which A Level exam board (Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, or Singapore-Cambridge) the school uses and for which subjects.
• Ask for recent A Level outcomes (A*/A rates, subject breakdown, and number of entries) and typical university destinations.
• Check what structured support exists for past papers, timed mocks, and exam technique, especially in Maths, Sciences, and essay subjects.
• Understand the school’s support model (subject clinics, consultation hours, counselling, and university guidance).
