Supported by Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Education (MOE), SISHK follows the Singapore curriculum for Primary Years, progressing to the IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme in Secondary Years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We caught up with Ms Pamela Yoong, Principal of Singapore International School (Hong Kong), to learn more about the school\u2019s close ties to Singapore, its holistic approach to education, and what sets its students apart \u2014 both in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you tell us about your career?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SISHK is my fourth school as Principal and my first overseas posting. This experience is unique as SISHK is the only overseas school supported by the Singapore MOE. Before joining SISHK in December 2022, I was the Founding Principal of Tampines Meridian Junior College after the merger of two junior colleges. I\u2019ve also been Principal at Paya Lebar Methodist Girls\u2019 School and held various leadership roles that shaped my approach to education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you explain the curriculum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Preparatory Years (PY) programme offers a holistic foundation in Chinese and English while fostering students&#8217; physical, intellectual, moral, emotional, and social growth. Many PY students move on to our primary and secondary programmes, leading to the IB Diploma. Our primary section follows a Singapore-styled curriculum balancing academic rigour with character development. In secondary school, students progress from the IGCSE to the IB Diploma, equipping them with essential life skills and a global mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2-1024x607.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2-1024x607.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2-300x178.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2-768x455.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2-1536x910.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Singapore-International-School-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What distinguishes SISHK from other leading schools?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong>Our uniquely Singapore-styled curriculum, particularly our rigorous Mathematics and Science programmes, sets us apart.
