About Lorna Whiston Schools
Lorna Whiston Schools is an international school based at United Square on Thomson Road, offering programmes islandwide in Singapore. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. It holds a 4.7/5 rating across 26 Google reviews — a moderate sample that is broadly encouraging but worth corroborating. No CPE EduTrust certification is recorded in the current listing data, which is a notable gap for a provider regulated under the Private Education Act; prospective families should verify certification status directly with the school and on the CPE register before proceeding. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$), though precise annual tuition figures are not available in this listing.
When considering Lorna Whiston Schools, begin by establishing which curriculum track is on offer and how it aligns with your child's longer-term university pathway — whether that is the IB Diploma, British IGCSE and A-Level, American AP, or another route. Each track carries different university admission strengths across the UK, US, Australia, and beyond. Arrange a school visit during term time where possible, and request an intake assessment if your child is entering at a senior year group. Ask the admissions team to itemise the full annual cost: tuition fees, the non-refundable enrolment fee, the refundable deposit, any building or capital levy, transport (typically S$3,500–8,000 per year), and meals. Confirm the school's SEN capacity if relevant, the student-to-teacher ratio, and the enrolment mix between expatriate and Singaporean families. Also ask about the school's historical rate of fee increases, as these can compound significantly over a multi-year enrolment.
To take the next step, contact Lorna Whiston Schools directly by phone or via the enquiry form to request a school visit and a full written breakdown of all fees and charges before making any payment commitment.

Just want to express a big big thank you to Lorna Whiston Ms Mala in Kallang Wave. Class teacher Jamie and Ms Wang also took care of my kid wholeheartedly and even discussed with me on how to ease her into the new school when she first joined. My kid loves her school so much and looks forward to going to school every day now. All the master classes and fun Friday activities are well planned to make all the kids enjoyable. There are sand play, water play, cookery, dramas class, etc. Food is great, environment is great and teachers are great also!

My daughter started preschool here at Lorna Whiston this year and she looks forward to going to school everyday. The curriculum is great with lots of fun activities for the kids. She’s most excited about the fun Friday activities and water play day! I also like that the school involves parents in some of the activities so we get to experience what our kids are up to in school. Thankful to the team, Ms Mala and her playgroup teachers Jish Laoshi and Ms Jane for taking such great care of her.

My child loves going to school and talks about her teachers and friends daily. Very thankful to these passionate, patient and loving teachers (Ms Sher Min and Laoshi) for making school such a fun environment for the children. Love the location, the facilities, and the well planned activities and celebrations at Lorna Whiston. Our child is currently on the half day programme but we are so excited to let her join the Masterclasses in the future!

I've been sending my son to school since he was in N1, and it's hard to believe it's already been over four years. Ensuring that he feels comfortable and happy at school has always been my top priority, and this remains true every morning. Now in class K2 Harmony, he often tells me how much he loves his form teachers and enjoys playing with his friends. I've witnessed tremendous growth in him recently, and I truly attribute that to the school's well-rounded curriculum and the dedicated efforts of his teachers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Lorna Whiston Schools charge?›
Precise annual tuition figures are not published in this listing, so families should request a full written fee schedule directly from the school. As a general benchmark, international school tuition in Singapore typically ranges from S$25,000 to S$60,000 or more per year, depending on year group and curriculum track. Beyond tuition, budget for a non-refundable enrolment fee (commonly S$3,500–7,500), a refundable deposit (often equivalent to one term's fees), and, at some schools, a building or capital levy of S$10,000–25,000. Annual transport costs typically run S$3,500–8,000 and meals S$1,500–4,000. Tuition fees are GST-exempt, though ancillary charges may vary. Note that some schools have raised fees by 8–12% annually, which matters considerably over a 10-year enrolment horizon. See the full International Schools cost guide for Singapore →
What curriculum does Lorna Whiston Schools offer and what university pathways does it support?›
The specific curriculum track offered by Lorna Whiston Schools is not detailed in the current listing, so families should confirm this directly with the admissions team. The curriculum track matters significantly because each pathway leads to different university admission outcomes: the IB Diploma is broadly accepted globally; A-Levels are the preferred route for UK universities; and American AP qualifications carry the most weight for US admissions. Ask the school to share university destination data, including IB average scores, AP pass rates, or university admissions outcomes where published. Also confirm the student-to-teacher ratio — international schools in Singapore typically run at 16–20 students per class — and enquire about the school's approach to university counselling, particularly if your child is targeting selective institutions. If the school publishes an annual alumni destinations report, reviewing it before committing is strongly recommended.
How do I get my child enrolled at Lorna Whiston Schools?›
Start by submitting an enquiry via the school's phone line or online form to confirm current availability in your child's year group. Entry points at Year 7–9 level are often the most competitive at international schools in Singapore, and waiting lists for popular year groups can extend several months or longer. The typical process involves an online application, a school visit, and — for older students — an intake assessment to confirm curriculum readiness. You will be asked to pay an enrolment fee and a refundable deposit to secure a place; confirm at the time what portion of these fees is refundable if you leave Singapore mid-year or withdraw before the start of term. Before committing, verify the school's CPE EduTrust certification on the SkillsFuture Singapore / CPE register, and request the full written fee schedule including all levies, to avoid surprises after enrolment.
