About Pat's Schoolhouse

When considering enrolment, families should clarify the curriculum track offered — whether IB, American AP, British IGCSE with A-Levels, or another pathway — as this shapes university admissions outcomes significantly. The full annual cost picture should be requested upfront: annual tuition (typically S$25,000–60,000+ depending on grade and curriculum at international schools in Singapore), a non-refundable enrolment fee, a refundable deposit, any building fund or capital levy, plus transport and meals where applicable. Families should also enquire about the school's intake assessment process, student-teacher ratio, SEN capacity, and the balance of expatriate versus Singaporean enrolment. Visiting the school during normal hours and meeting the relevant year-group lead before committing is strongly advisable.
To take the next step, contact Pat's Schoolhouse directly by phone or via the enquiry form to arrange a school visit, obtain the full fee schedule in writing, and confirm EduTrust certification status on the CPE public register before paying any fees.
Visit during school hours, verify EduTrust certification on the CPE register, and get the full cost (tuition + enrolment fee + deposit + building fund + transport/meals) and refund policy in writing before paying.
We have been with The Schoolhouse Katong for years, having sent both our boys here starting from Nursery. We are very satisfied parents! What we appreciate most is the school's focus. They don't just chase academic achievements; they truly focus on the development of the child as a whole person. Our boys are learning the right values and are being shaped into confident kids. Highly recommended for parents looking for a balanced, nurturing environment
My 2 kids have attended The Schoolhouse Katong since they were 19 months old and love it. They are always happy to attend school and are learning well. 1. Grounds are beautiful with large outdoor areas for daily outdoor activities. There are 2 large playgrounds, ample space for them to cycle, sand play and water play areas. 2. Teachers are dedicated. All the teachers know both children by name and show genuine care. Photo updates also show that a lot of effort is put into organizing a variety of activities for the children to learn and have fun. When my older child was 2.5 y/o, her teachers were initiated toilet training with our agreement and we successfully trained her in less than 1 week. I have never had to worry about my children when they are at school. 3. Classmates are from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities, which is great for their learning and interaction. 4. Admin staff are very on the ball and helpful for administrative issues Would not hesitate to recommend this preschool to anyone!
Our child just graduated from Schoolhouse Katong and is heading to Primary 1, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The teachers are warm, dedicated, and truly care about every child. Our child grew so much in confidence, independence, and learning — and genuinely looked forward to school every day. Thank you to the wonderful team for giving our child such a strong and happy start. Highly recommended!
The Schoolhouse Katong is a hidden gem surrounded by a lush, green compound that instantly feels like a safe, happy haven. The school embraces nature at every turn, from outdoor play under shady trees to hands-on gardening activities. Learning here is joyfully woven into play, sparking curiosity and creativity in every child. With a good balance of fun, exploration, and academic learning, the school not only builds strong foundations for learning but also fosters kindness, independence, and a lifelong love for nature. Special mentions to our kids’ teachers who have been nothing but warm, loving, and nurturing, creating an environment where children feel valued and confident.
The SchoolHouse is the perfect place to send your child if you are looking for (1) caring and passionate educators (2) consistent rich experiences to ensure your child is future-ready. Recently my K2 daughter participated in an entrepreneur day where she and her classmates created artefacts and then showcased them and sold them to parents! I love it that my child comes home weekly with not just literacy and numeracy readiness but skills that make her future-ready. I also see the mark The School House has left on my 10 year old as she embodies all the school values and future ready skills, preparing her well primary school journey. Coming from an educator with 20 years of experience, I would say to you- Choose this school, you won’t regret it :)

Annual tuition at international schools in Singapore typically ranges from S$25,000 to S$60,000 or more, varying by year group and curriculum. Pat's Schoolhouse has not published a specific fee schedule in this listing, so families should request the full cost breakdown directly. Beyond tuition, budget for a non-refundable enrolment fee (typically S$3,500–S$7,500), a refundable deposit (often equivalent to one term's fees), a building fund or capital levy at some schools (S$10,000–S$25,000), annual transport (S$3,500–S$8,000), and meals (S$1,500–S$4,000/year). Fee escalation of 8–12% annually at some schools is worth factoring into a multi-year commitment. Tuition is GST-exempt. See the full International Schools cost guide for Singapore →
The curriculum track offered by Pat's Schoolhouse is not specified in this listing. Families should confirm directly whether the school follows the IB Diploma Programme, American AP, British IGCSE leading to A-Levels or IB, Canadian Ontario curriculum, or another pathway, as this has a direct bearing on university admissions outcomes. Each track has different strengths: the IB Diploma is broadly accepted globally; AP qualifications are most advantageous for US university applications; A-Levels remain the standard for UK university entry. If the school publishes IB average scores, AP pass rates, or university destination data, ask to see these before committing. Student-teacher ratio and class size are also worth confirming during a school visit.
Enrolment typically begins with an online application, followed by a school visit and, for older students, an intake assessment. Popular year groups — particularly around Years 7 to 9 — can carry waiting lists, so early enquiry is advisable. Before paying any fees, confirm the enrolment fee (non-refundable) and deposit (refundable) amounts, clarify the refund policy should you leave Singapore mid-year, and understand how any building fund is treated on departure. It is strongly recommended to visit the school during teaching hours and meet the relevant year-group lead before committing. Verify EduTrust certification status directly on the CPE public register, as no licence is recorded in this listing.
