Top 20 IGCSE Schools in Singapore

Singapore has one of the strongest ecosystems for Cambridge IGCSE and international curricula. Families typically shortlist schools based on academic outcomes, subject breadth, teaching quality, and how well the school prepares students for IGCSE exam technique.

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

Not every school publishes the same level of exam statistics. Where schools do share results, useful data points to look for include:

• A*/A (or 9–7) rate and how it changes year to year
• Average grade per subject (not just “pass rate”)
• Number of entries (strong results across many entries are more meaningful)
• Top-in-country/world awards (e.g. Cambridge Outstanding Learner-type recognition, where applicable)
• Cohort context (how selective the intake is; how large the year group is)

When detailed results aren’t published, schools can still rank well for other measurable reasons: long track record, breadth of IGCSE subjects, strong pastoral systems, excellent labs and facilities, strong university guidance, and consistently good inspection/accreditation outcomes.

What to do next (quick checklist)

• Ask for the school’s latest published IGCSE outcomes (or what they can share) and the number of exam entries.
• Confirm the school’s IGCSE subject list (and whether sciences require practicals or alternatives).
• Check whether students receive structured support for past-paper practice and exam technique.
• Understand the school’s support model (EAL, learning support, counselling, university guidance).
