About this school
Furen International School (FIS) is a private preparatory school on Claymore Hill, close to Orchard Road. It was established in 2000 to prepare students for Singapore's GCE O-Level examinations and has since added more courses, all focused on preparing students for university. FIS is a registered Private Education Institution and reports that its graduates have received university offers, including from Singapore's public universities, since 2009.
The main course pathway is built on Cambridge content:
- Middle School Certificate, Grades 7 to 9, based on the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum
- Foundation Studies for High School Diploma, a 12-month bridging course
- High School Diploma Grade 10, based on Cambridge IGCSE
- High School Diploma Grades 11 and 12, based on Cambridge International A Level
FIS also offers university foundation programmes, such as the UNSW College Standard Foundation Program, a UK business management degree and professional courses.
The school stresses long class hours, form teachers, guidance counsellors and English classes banded by level. It provides 24/7 supervised student residence for those studying away from home.
