Frequently Asked Questions

HFSE International School adopts a flexible and inclusive approach to education through its self-developed curriculum, designed to cater to students of diverse nationalities and learning needs. The curriculum is continuously reviewed and enhanced, drawing from best practices of recognized and established education systems to ensure quality and relevance. For students who intend to transition into Singapore’s mainstream education system, the school incorporates the Singapore syllabus in key subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science.

In addition, the school offers a second pathway through the internationally recognised Cambridge Assessment International Education curriculum. This structured and globally benchmarked programme provides a clear academic framework and progression aligned with international standards. Together, these two pathways offer families the flexibility to choose an educational route that best supports their child’s learning journey and future aspirations.

Yes. Based on our experience, many of our students have successfully migrated to countries such as New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Canada, countries in Europe, and the Philippines. In most cases, the usual process is for the student to undergo the entrance assessment or placement procedure required by the prospective school in the country they are transferring to.

HFSE supports families by providing the necessary school documents, including the Transcript of Records (TOR), Report Cards, Certificate of Attendance, Certificate of Completion, and Certificate of Good Moral Character. Should the receiving school require additional documents, certifications, or testimonials, HFSE will also extend assistance as needed.

For students under the Cambridge pathway, the curriculum follows an internationally recognised framework, which may help support smoother transitions to schools abroad, subject to the admission and placement requirements of the receiving institution.

For students under the HFSE self-developed pathway, placement in a new school will likewise depend on the receiving school’s assessment and admissions process, with HFSE providing the relevant academic records and supporting documents.
