Parent Stories

Families Who Made the Move to Class 2

"My child joined the Bridge Programme in 2022, and it was truly the best decision we made. The teachers were very supportive and helped my child adjust smoothly from Kindergarten to the primary level. In just a few months, we saw amazing progress in reading, confidence, and overall learning. The transition to Class 2 was seamless, and my child continues to enjoy coming to school every day. We’re very thankful to GIG International School for this wonderful start!"

Parent of Chhakreshwar GovinduPrimary Class 4 (Joined via Bridge Programme in 2022)

"When my son joined the school in 2024, I was very worried about how he can go to the new environment because there's a big difference between the Middle East and Southeast Asia. But I was surprised that after one or two weeks he had friends. He can speak with the teachers. All the environment was very friendly.
I think GIG is very affordable for any parents that wants to register in a school in Singapore. I advise them to register in GIG school because the teachers are very professional. They can give a balance between the fun and that professional teaching. Children feel safe and comfortable, so when I send my kids I feel that they are very safe in the school. I want to say thank you for all the teaching and for the management of the school."

Parent of HamzaPrimary Class 5

"We are coming from Japan! So, surprisingly he really adapted very well, I was quite worried about him because it was quite a lot of challenge. In a new country, new people, a new home and also a new school and also everything is in English and he only spoke Japanese. So I thought it was quite challenging for him but surprisingly he made it very good.
I really like that in GIG everything is a package, was really nice. And also when I attended the school tour (Open House), the people were really nice and when I also talked about Subalu's English level, I was worried about how he can adapt, they were really nice to me and said that they will support him and support me to get adapted very soon.
GIG has the Oxford Reading Tree from the library and they can read the books and it's really helping him to improve his English and his pronunciation, it got so good, improved very much."

Common Questions

What Parents Ask Before Enquiring

About the Programme

Is 3 months really enough to cover the full Class 1 syllabus?

Yes, because Bridge classes are small, dedicated cohorts with individual lesson plans. Every child receives a baseline assessment in week 1, so teaching is targeted rather than generic. The full Class 1 Cambridge syllabus is covered across English, Mathematics, Unit of Inquiry and a second language.

What if my child struggles during the programme?

Individual lesson plans are updated throughout the course. Teachers are Cambridge-trained specialists, and additional zero-period sessions are available where a child needs more time. Free online sessions also run for 3 weeks before the programme starts, so your child arrives prepared.

What second language options are available?

Hindi, Tamil or French, all taught from beginner level. No prior knowledge is required.

Eligibility, Fees and What Comes Next

What are the exact eligibility criteria?

Your child must be at least 5 years 9 months old at the start of the programme and must have completed at least 2 years of preschool (K1 and K2). If you are unsure, our admissions team will assess your child's situation without obligation.

What fees apply and what is included?

The Bridge Programme carries an 11% tuition reduction. Group and sibling discounts may also apply, up to 22.5% in total. All 23 activities are included in the tuition figure. For full fees, send an enquiry and the admissions team will share them with you.

No. Children move directly into Class 2 at GIG and continue on GIG's Cambridge pathway through to IGCSE, AS and A Levels. 1 school, no transitions.
