We aim to keep the class size to a maximum of 25 students. Higher level elective subjects currently average 20 in one class.

The Academic Year broadly follows the local Singaporean calendar with some variations to accommodate the International programme:

Term 1 – Mid-January to March with 1 week break following
Term 2 – March to May with 5 weeks’ break following
Term 3 – July to September with 1 week break following
Term 4 – September to late November with 6 weeks’ break following
 

Effort and Achievement grades are offered mid-term and at the end of each term.  Parents are able to access their child’s grades from the school website on the nTrix System.  The Academic Calendar gives more information.
 

Students are required to set specific targets for development in their academic study which they review after each grading period.  Students who do not perform according to their potential are placed on close monitoring which requires them to work with subject teachers and Form Tutors to identify and develop areas in need of development.  Parents are also involved in the monitoring process.

ACS (International) is an international school with Singapore context and is permitted by Ministry of Education to admit Singapore students. We shall endeavour to maintain a balanced ratio between local and foreign students to strive for multi-cultural learning environment focusing on all-round development. Extending from this, ACS (International) engages both local and foreign teachers with international teaching experience to meet individual subject requirements.

 

Depending on their subject selection, students are expected to' float' from one classroom to another accordance to their weekly timetable. Remedial classes and other course works (ie. assignment and greoup projects) are built in the system run over 'free periods'.

Life skills and CCAs are run in tandem to the curriculum. Students are expected to participate in all life skill programmes organised and at least one CCA in the his/her academci studies. See our CCA Listing for more information.
