OUR CAMBRIDGE HERITAGE
400 Years of Educational Excellence
Founded in Cambridge, UK, in 1615, The Perse Cambridge is one of the top co-educational independent schools in the UK offering a broad education, with excellent academic results, a breadth of extra curricular opportunities and strong pastoral care. For over four centuries, it has provided generations of students with a world-class education that balances tradition with innovation.
Now, The Perse School is bringing its time-honoured traditions and innovative approach to education to Singapore and will welcome the first cohort of students in January 2025.
Education The Perse Way
Future-Skills Curriculum
We are committed to delivering an education that extends beyond academics, seamlessly integrating co-curricular experiences—such as entrepreneurship, outdoor learning, and a diverse array of sports, arts, and music into the core school day
Commitment to Academic Excellence
Our Cambridge curriculum fosters intellectual curiosity, builds logical thinking, and fosters academic excellence. Building on over 400 years of proven academic success, we will uphold the highest standards of education with strong literacy, math and science programmes.
The Cambridge Connection
We will maintain strong ties to our Cambridge roots, providing opportunities for collaboration and shared experiences with The Perse School Cambridge. This global perspective enriches our educational offerings, giving students a deeper understanding of different cultures and ideas. Shared resources and training ensure our teachers uphold the same level of knowledge and values.
Three Dimensional Teaching
Our teachers play a vital role in shaping students' lives, fostering their happiness and well-being. Committed to our mission of 3D teaching, they take a holistic approach—supporting each student across academics, co-curricular activities, and pastoral care. We actively seek and develop educators who understand our students' diverse needs and provide personalised guidance to help them thrive.
Embedded Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a cornerstone of The Perse Way. By embedding hands-on experiences across our curriculum and campus, we inspire students to develop curious minds and a thirst for discovery. Whether through project-based learning, outdoor education, or real-world applications, our students gain practical skills and knowledge.
Our Academic Programme

Junior School
In our Junior School, core STEM subjects such as maths and science are taught by specialist teachers, building strong academic foundations. Learning is enriched through creative subjects including drama, art, and music, alongside outdoor learning and hands-on scientific exploration that spark curiosity and imagination.
Ages 11-18
Senior School
In our Senior School, students are challenged to think deeply, work independently, and take ownership of their learning.
