For families navigating international education in Singapore and across Asia, choosing the right school is a big decision. Trusted and independent perspectives can make all the difference.
Little Steps Asia is one of Asia’s leading family media platforms, helping parents discover and navigate family life, education and opportunities across the region. Its annual Education Awards evaluates international schools across Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia in 19 categories, combining expert panel assessments and votes from parent communities. This dual approach – expert judging alongside community voting – makes recognition meaningful both within the education sector and among the families schools serve.
This year, Stamford American International School entered six award categories and received recognition in four:
- 🥇 Gold – American Curriculum School Award (Experts’ Vote)
- 🥇 Gold – Best School for Learning Support (Experts’ Vote)
- 🥈 Silver – Bilingual Programme of the Year (Readers’ Choice)
- 🥉 Bronze – International School of the Year (Experts’ Vote)
For our community, these awards are more than accolades. They affirm our commitment to giving every child the freedom to explore, the support to grow and the courage to shape their own path. See all our awards and accreditations.
A school built around choice
American curriculum, AP and IB pathways in Singapore
Our Gold award for American Curriculum School, together with our Bronze award for International School of the Year and nomination for IB School of the Year, recognizes our commitment to academic rigor tailored to the individual.
Students benefit from a strong American curriculum and a choice of pathways, including Advanced Placement (AP), BTEC and the International Baccalaureate (IB). AP offerings span more than 20 subjects, from AP Computer Science and AP Calculus to AP Studio Art, giving students the depth to pursue their strengths.
From designing robotics solutions in our Innovation Center to exploring complex questions through Theory of Knowledge, students are encouraged to discover what challenges and inspires them.
Because there is no single definition of success – and no single path to achieving it.
Support that helps every child thrive
Award-winning learning support at an international school in Singapore
Our Gold award for Best School for Learning Support speaks to another deeply held belief: high expectations should always be matched by a high level of care.
From the Early Years campus onward, support is woven into everyday learning. Across all grades, our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) brings together more than 20 specialists, including occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and counselors. MTSS works across three tiers: universal strategies for every classroom, targeted small-group support for students who need it and individualized programs for those with specific learning differences.
When a child encounters a challenge, we help them face it – not fear it. With the right learning support, every challenge can become an opportunity to build confidence, resilience and courage.
Bilingualism that goes beyond language
Mandarin-English bilingual program for international school students
Our Silver Readers’ Choice award for Bilingual Programme of the Year is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of families themselves.
At Stamford, English and Mandarin are not taught in isolation. Through our translanguaging approach, students use both languages naturally – as tools for thinking, communicating and seeing the world from different perspectives. In practice, this means a student might research a science topic in English, discuss findings with peers in Mandarin and present conclusions in both languages.
The result goes beyond bilingual proficiency. Students develop the flexibility, empathy and confidence to navigate diverse cultures and find their voice in an increasingly interconnected world.
The Stamford difference
Why families choose a top international school in Singapore
At the heart of every recognition is our belief that every child should have the freedom to discover who they are and the confidence to become who they want to be.
With two campuses – our Early Years campus for children from 18 months to 6 years and our Woodleigh campus for Grades 1 through 12 – Stamford provides a continuous learning journey from early childhood through high school graduation.
At Stamford, students are empowered to explore new possibilities, write their own stories and move forward with courage.
We don’t define the path for your child. We help them build the confidence to make it their own. Wherever the path leads, they’ll know how to walk it fearlessly.
