Avondale Grammar School

Welcoming families from more than 20 countries, Avondale Grammar School is a co-educational, international school for expatriate children from Preschool to Middle School. With Personal Achievement Targets and exclusively following the Australian Curriculum we encourage students to strive for academic excellence in a welcoming and nurturing environment.

Avondale Grammar School is a co-educational, independent, international school that is licensed by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards in Australia. With a staff of committed and highly qualified teachers, many of whom have extensive experience in teaching in international settings, Avondale uses the world class Australian Curriculum. This curriculum acknowledges the importance of developing core foundational knowledge in each of the disciplines, as well as focusing explicitly on the development of key 21st Century skills.

The School is committed to encouraging students to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals who are informed citizens, who demonstrate ethical integrity, relate well to others and communicate across cultures at local, regional and global levels.

The School strongly promotes the development of each child’s educational potential in a supportive, stimulating and exciting environment. The School believes that competence and confidence at school are the catalysts necessary to spark in each child “a lifelong love of learning”.

Avondale Grammar School is therefore uniquely positioned to address key educational needs of the children of expatriate families, when they re-locate to Singapore.

At Avondale we provide a warm and welcoming environment that helps families settle quickly and smoothly into the School and into life in Singapore. Parents and families are actively encouraged to participate in many areas of school life, and a vibrant Parents’ Association offers many opportunities for interaction between families.

At Avondale we believe we are preparing students for their life today and for whatever their next step is. For those who will return to schools in their home countries we know we can send them back as engaged, independent learners well prepared to continue their academic journey. For those going on to new countries we know that they are well equipped with the skills to explore and solve problems in their new environment.
