Introducing The Perse School

The Perse School, founded in Cambridge, has over 400 years of history and ranks among the top 10 British Independent Schools. It has produced exceptional scholars and influential figures who have shaped the world. Consistently setting high standards, the school has continued to evolve to provide students with an education tailored for the future.

Welcome to The Perse School (Singapore)

school leadership

Leading The Perse School’s new chapter in Singapore is truly a privilege. With over 24 years at The Perse School Cambridge, I believe education should inspire passion and wonder, encouraging students to explore and grow in a supportive setting. Our core values guide our approach as we welcome a diverse, international community

This is why we nurture curious, engaged children who embrace challenges and enjoy learning. We value kindness, honesty, inclusivity, and thoughtfulness, fostering strong relationships among students and staff.

At The Perse School, we will offer rigorous and engaging academics with a rich array of co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We will provide a truly special educational experience for every student, and so we invite you to visit and learn more about what sets a Perse Education apart.

I personally look forward to welcoming your family into our community.
