About RD American School
RD American School is an international school based at Changi Business Park, offering an American curriculum to families across Singapore. The school has been verified by KakiList, though no Google reviews are currently available, no ACRA registration has been confirmed, and no regulatory licences — including CPE EduTrust certification — are recorded in this listing. Prospective families should contact the school directly to confirm its current accreditation and regulatory standing before proceeding.
When evaluating RD American School, families should begin by clarifying the full curriculum track — whether the school follows an American AP pathway, a hybrid model, or a different framework — and the university admission destinations it supports, particularly for US-bound students. It is important to request the complete annual cost, which typically extends well beyond tuition to include a non-refundable enrolment fee, a refundable deposit, any building fund or capital levy, transport, and meals. Families should also enquire about the school's SEN support capacity, student-to-teacher ratio, intake assessment process for older students, and the proportion of expat versus Singaporean enrolment. Visiting the school during a normal school day and meeting the relevant year-group lead is strongly advisable before making any financial commitment.
To take the next step, contact RD American School by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing, request a school visit, and ask for the full written fee schedule — including all one-off and annual charges — as well as documentary evidence of current CPE EduTrust certification. Listing data is incomplete — contact RD American School directly to confirm details.
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.

Annual tuition fees at international schools in Singapore typically range from S$25,000 to S$60,000 or more, depending on the year group and curriculum. However, tuition is only one component of the full cost. Families should also budget for a non-refundable enrolment fee (typically S$3,500–7,500), a refundable deposit (often equivalent to one term's fees), a building fund or capital levy at some schools (S$10,000–25,000), transport (S$3,500–8,000 per year), and meals (S$1,500–4,000 per year). Fee escalation is also worth factoring in — some international schools have raised fees by 8–12% annually, which compounds significantly over a 10-year enrolment. Tuition fees are GST-exempt. RD American School's specific fee schedule is not published in this listing; contact the school directly for a full written breakdown. See the full International Schools cost guide for Singapore →
RD American School follows an American curriculum track. An American pathway — particularly one incorporating Advanced Placement (AP) courses — is well-regarded by US universities and increasingly recognised globally. AP results can contribute to university credit in the United States, which can shorten degree completion time. Compared with the IB Diploma, an AP-based programme tends to allow greater subject specialisation, which suits students with a clear academic direction. Families considering UK or Australian universities should verify how RD American School's qualifications are received by specific institutions, as entry requirements differ by country. It is worth asking the school directly for recent university destination data, AP pass rates or scores achieved, and the student-to-teacher ratio. No such data is available in this listing.
The first step is to contact RD American School directly — by phone or through the enquiry form — to confirm current availability for your child's year group, as waitlists for popular entry points (particularly mid-primary and early secondary) can extend several months. You will typically need to complete an online application, provide prior school reports, and in some cases have your child sit an intake assessment. Before paying any fees, request the full written fee schedule including the enrolment fee, refundable deposit, and building fund (where applicable), and confirm what is and is not refundable should you leave Singapore mid-year. Critically, verify that the school holds current CPE EduTrust certification — this is the key consumer protection mechanism for international schools in Singapore — and check the CPE register directly to confirm its status. A school visit during normal hours, and a meeting with the relevant year-group lead, is strongly recommended before committing.
