Philosophy

Anglo-Chinese School (International) will cater to Singaporeans and foreigners who are attracted to the Singapore system of education, in particular, the "ACS brand of education". The school will embrace the traditions of ACS and will be benchmarked against the high standards of ACS (Independent) at Dover Road. Besides ACS (Independent), the other four ACS institutions are ACS (Junior), ACS (Primary), ACS (Barker Road) and Anglo-Chinese Junior College. Its establishment is in line with the Government's aim of making Singapore an educational centre of excellence to serve Singaporeans as well as students from the region.

One special feature of the school will be the offer of a comprehensive Secondary Education consisting of two levels – the first level leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), and the second level of two years for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The combination of IGCSE and IBDP makes ACS (International) unique as no other national school currently offers such programmes.

A further distinctive feature, underlining the commitment to an all-round education will be inclusion of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme within the school's programme. All students aged 14 and above will be encouraged to take part beginning with the Bronze Award. Public speaking, deportment and time-management skills will be emphasized to develop young adults with leadership skills into future leaders and global citizens based on Christian values.
