Foundation Program

For admission Schools in Singapore

This program is specially designed for foreign students
(18 years old) who wish to enter government schools as well as international schools in Singapore.

Designed to increase students' level of competency in using the
English language, the course aims to equip students with the required language and skills to pass entrance exams as well as prepare them for studying other subjects in English.

Proven Track Record
SHINES Education Centre has a proven track record of 100% successful placement of its Foundation Students in various government schools in Singapore.


Qualified and Experienced Teachers
With highly qualified and experienced teachers that we have carefully selected to teach the program, you can be assured that your children are in good hand.


Well Designed Course Program
Our Foundation Program is conducted in accordance with the syllabus set by the Ministry of Education. The teaching will be exam-oriented to prepare students for the local schools' entrance exams.

Realizing that English Language would be the most challenging for foreign students when settling into Singapore's school system, we emphasize English in our Foundation Course.

• Students will learn English as a subject itself and as a medium for learning other subjects.
• For Mathematics and Science, we teach students familiarity with mathematical and scientific terms in English.

Our teachers will guide and help your child to handle the Mathematic and Science questions in English instead of his/her native language


Monthly Progress Report
Wondering whether your child is making any progress in his studies? Don't worry because we will send you a detailed progress report every month. These reports will include the student's tests results and the evaluation of his progress in class.


International Communities
In SHINES, you will have a greater chance to meet students from many other different countries. Following are the list of countries where our foundation students normally come from:
Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Taiwan ROC, Hong Kong SAR, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Laos, Philippines, Mongolia.


Regular Outdoor Activities
In SHINES, we not only prepare your child for the government school's entrance test, we also help them become more familiar with Singapore through our monthly outdoor activities.
