In Brief
DPS International School Singapore is an established Indian curriculum school founded in 2004, serving 1,500+ students primarily from the Indian community. As Singapore's only ICSE/ISC curriculum provider, it offers dual pathways with Indian and British qualifications at notably affordable fees ranging from $5,886 to $22,563 annually.
Part of India's extensive Delhi Public School network with 150 schools, DPS Singapore operates from a spacious 240,000 square foot campus in Hougang, providing education from pre-nursery through Grade 12. Under Principal Chandra Prakash Kabra's leadership, the school offers students a choice between Indian (ICSE/ISC) and British (IGCSE/A Level) pathways from Grade 8 onwards. The Indian pathway follows the traditional April-March academic year with Hindi, Tamil, or French language options, while the British pathway runs January-December and focuses on core subjects including sciences, mathematics, and business studies.
The school emphasizes both academic rigor and community engagement, with students known as 'Dipsites' participating in leadership roles, entrepreneurship clubs, and community service programs. Morning greetings between primary students and teachers through dance, high-fives, or handshakes reflect the school's commitment to being a 'Happy School' while maintaining Delhi Public School traditions of order and discipline. With predominantly Indian faculty recruited from India, DPS provides cultural continuity for Indian families while preparing students for both Indian higher education and international universities through A Level qualifications.
