Holland Village International School

Holland Village International School is an American curriculum institution located in the heart of Holland Village, one of Singapore's most popular expatriate neighbourhoods known for its eclectic dining scene, boutique shops, and relaxed village atmosphere. The school serves students aged 4 to 18, delivering an education aligned with the Common Core State Standards and offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses at the high school level.

The academic programme follows a structured progression from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. Elementary students build strong foundations in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, with specialist instruction in Mandarin, visual arts, music, and physical education. At the middle school level, students begin to explore elective subjects and develop independent study skills. High school students pursue a college-preparatory track with access to multiple AP subjects including AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP World History, AP Computer Science, and AP Studio Art.

The campus occupies a modern facility designed to support collaborative and technology-enhanced learning. Amenities include fully equipped science laboratories, a computer lab with industry-standard hardware and software, a well-resourced library, a sports field suitable for football and track, an indoor multi-purpose hall, and a cafeteria offering diverse meal options. The school has also invested in a dedicated STEAM centre where students engage with robotics, 3D printing, and coding projects from middle school onward.

The school is additionally accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and is registered with Singapore's CPE under the EduTrust framework. Japanese language instruction is offered alongside Mandarin, reflecting the school's diverse student community which includes a significant number of families from Japan, Korea, and other parts of Asia.
