Heritage Academy Singapore
As a Christian focused American curriculum school, Heritage Academy positions itself around cultural diversity and character development within an international educational framework. The school emphasizes transforming young lives through excellence while serving students from multiple cultural backgrounds.
In brief
Heritage Academy has taught in Singapore's Thomson area since 2005, taking pupils aged 6–18 through an American programme alongside Cambridge qualifications, and 91 per cent of students achieved A–C grades at IGCSE in 2025. Principal Susan Teo has led the school since January 2005, the year it was founded. It holds EDUTRUST certification, and annual fees run from SGD 7,926 in Grades 1–6 to SGD 8,917 in Grades 7–12.
Feedback leans positive, with a Christian ethos and Accelerated Christian Education materials at the centre of most praise. Parents credit the school with character development and growth in confidence and empathy, describe staff as friendly and dedicated, and one parent called it "a small school with a big heart". Families with children on the iCan and similar programmes report visible growth in independence.
The complaints are practical. Some parents say pupils needing extension work face delays and added cost, and want better contingency planning. The spread across multiple campuses, with no single dedicated building, is a recurring friction point.
