If your child has different learning needs, then consider one of these inclusive schools, early intervention centres or special needs schools in Singapore

Singapore’s education system is one of the world’s most respected, and for good reason. However, it’s not just about mainstream education in this city-state; inclusive education and special education schools are also available in abundance here. It’s a quickly evolving sector, too, as 2019 marked the first year that Singaporean students with moderate-to-severe special needs were required to attend school under the government’s Compulsory Education framework. Singapore’s Ministry of Education (M.O.E.) also has a network of 19 government-funded special education schools run by 12 social service organisations. Younger learners and non-Singaporean students also have several options, including special education preschools and early intervention centres that can help differently-abled children thrive in supportive and safe environments. Read on for our roundup of special needs schools in Singapore, which includes local and international schools, preschools and early prevention programmes. These schools and programmes are open to Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and non-Singaporean students of differing abilities unless stated otherwise.
