Committee for Private Education (CPE)

Stamford is required to execute a contract with each and every student prior to being enrolled in the school. As most of our students are under 18 years of age, a parent or the legal guardian is required to execute the contract on behalf of the student.

The Stamford-Student Contract is an important legal agreement between Stamford and parents. Students are not considered fully enrolled at Stamford until a duly-executed contract and Advisory Note (Form 12) is submitted on-line by the parent to the school.

You should only sign this contract if you fully understand and are satisfied with all of the terms and conditions detailed therein. If you have any doubts about the contents of the contract, you should seek advice and clarification before signing. Detailed sections within the Stamford-Student Contract include course information and fees, refund policy, fee protection scheme, medical insurance scheme and additional information relating to the governing law and dispute resolution.

In compliance with the new regulations under the Private Education Act 2009, all students’ fees must be insured under the Fee Protection Scheme (FPS). All Stamford students are now covered by way of Insurance Protection as stipulated by the Council for Private Education. The Fee Protection Scheme serves to protect the course fees that are paid to Private Education Institutes in Singapore. Fees are only considered protected once they are paid to Stamford. Stamford then activates the insurance policy with the appointed provider. The provider will then issue a certificate to the family indicating the amount covered and the period of coverage. Stamford has appointed LONPAC Insurance Bhd to be the FPS provider for our students.

For more information on the Fee Protection Scheme please email finance@sais.edu.sg.

Stamford American International School Ltd Pte has a medical insurance scheme in place for all students. The student’s parent/guardian is encouraged to seek advice on whether more comprehensive insurance cover is required or desired. This scheme provides a basic annual coverage limit of not less than $20,000 per student in B1 ward in government and restructured hospitals and up to overall maximum limit per policy year, with 24 hours coverage in Singapore and overseas (if the student is involved in the school-related activities) throughout the course duration as required by the Council for Private Education (CPE) under the EduTrust certification scheme. Stamford has appointed Sime Darby Insurance Brokers (Singapore) Pte Ltd. as the medical insurance provider for our students.

The Enrollment Fee will be refunded in full in the event a student applicant cannot be accepted at Stamford for the reasons set out in 1) to 4) as determined by Stamford in its sole discretion.
