Invictus is a forward-looking international school that provides a high-quality education at an accessible cost. Founded in Singapore, Invictus focuses on holistic education and character development with an emphasis on leadership, multilingualism and the highly effective Singapore Mathematics.

Invictus has an excellent track record, offering premium and affordable education in Singapore. Our tuition fees are relatively lower in comparison with other international schools.

Both the IPC and the IB are inquiry-based learning curriculums. However, the IPC sets the learning goals while the IB allows each school to decide their own learning goals. This might lead to varying degrees in quality of education. Since the IPC is standardised, parents are able to find the learning goals that are covered online, regardless of the school the child is attending. It is also multidisciplinary rather than transdisciplinary, which means only subjects that naturally fit into a theme are used rather than forcing every subject to be in every unit.

Singapore mathematics is a teaching method based on the national mathematics curriculum of Singapore used for Year 1 to Year 6. The term was initially coined in the United States to describe an approach developed initially in Singapore, which teaches students to learn and master fewer mathematical concepts at greater detail and having them learn these concepts using a three-step learning process. The three steps in this process are concrete, pictorial, and abstract. In the first step, students engage in hands-on learning experiences using tangible objects such as chips, dice, or paper clips. This is followed by drawing pictorial representations of mathematical concepts. In the lower grades, we focus mostly on the first two stages. Students then solve mathematical problems abstractly by using numbers and symbols at the higher levels. Singapore Mathematics has been adopted successfully in at least 25 countries and helps

Parents can select between English and French, English and Mandarin or English and Khmer Lessons are taught at a level comfortable to the children during school hours. With globalisation, it is crucial that we hone the multi-lingual abilities of each child to give them a competitive edge. Children who want to do Khmer and Mandarin at an advanced level would also have the opportunity to pursue it at an additional cost. As demand builds for additional languages we will look into providing these.

Each class will have a maximum of 25 students.

Music and Art are integrated into the curriculum and taught by our specialist teacher. At the higher levels, they will be taught as individual subjects.

Our purpose-built campus has an outdoor playground and students are allocated sufficient outdoor playtime. Physical Education also features prominently in our curriculum. You can find out more about our campus here.

School currently starts at 7:45 am and ends at 2.45 pm. Children can also join the ECAs after school (from 3 pm to 4 pm), and the cost of attendance will be payable to the vendors.

We offer after school ECAs from 3 pm to 4 pm at Invictus International School. Activities vary by term. Some examples of ECAs include: Languages, Cambridge Checkpoint Prep, Swimming, Rock Climbing, STEM Education, Art and Music. (More ECAs will be added when demand arises)

Unfortunately, we do not have facilities to prepare food on campus. Students are required to bring two snacks and a water bottle every day. For lunch, students can either pack a lunch from home or place orders for food to be delivered to the school. Alternatively, you may place an order with a caterer (more details will be provided once your child is enrolled) at an affordable cost. The caterer offers healthy lunches crafted by a Chef, and there are Western, Asian and Vegetarian options.

All Invictus students are required to wear the school uniform on campus. It consists of a navy-blue polo with the school crest, grey shorts or skirt with the school's name. Children are required to wear closed-toed shoes always. Flip-flops, Crocs and sandals are not acceptable. Black tennis shoes with white socks are preferred and required on photo days and official school events.

Due to the low demand currently, Invictus is unable to offer any school bus services. However, the school might look into providing such services if there is sufficient demand in the future.

The cost of the assessment is USD$100 payable by cash, cheque, or bank transfer before assessment. If you are making a bank transfer, please let the admissions officer know, and an invoice will be emailed to the address used during registration. Otherwise, payment is due at the time of assessment; an invoice will be waiting for you at the front desk if you have not made a bank transfer. The results of the assessment will be withheld in the case of non-payment. Payment is non-refundable.

Regrettably, we do not allow parents to sit with their child for the assessment. We need to be able to assess your child independent from your relationship with them as a parent. Parents will be asked to say “goodbye” to their child as they go to a classroom with a friendly teacher. Please prepare your child for this separation.

The assessment will take approximately 45 minutes. You are welcome to wait in our lobby or come back later to pick up your child.

You should hear back from our admissions department within one week of your child taking the assessment. However, students in Year 1 may face a longer wait for their results if the assessment is done during the general assessment period in April. If your child passes the assessment he/she will either be offered a place in the school or put on our waiting list. For more information on admissions eligibility please click here.
