Why Choose FIS

Maximizing Learning Time with Minimal Need for Extra Tuition

Extensive class hours and Comprehensive Teaching

At Furen International School (FIS), the school day runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM — significantly longer than the typical schedule in Singapore. While most public secondary schools begin before 7:30 AM and end between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, and international schools usually operate from around 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, FIS extends its academic hours to provide a more thorough and supportive learning experience.

A key component of this extended schedule is FIS’s intervention system, which runs daily from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. It is designed to help students reinforce their subject understanding through personalized academic guidance, effectively minimizing learning gaps.

Outstanding University Admission Results

Furen International School has consistently achieved outstanding university admission results. For several consecutive years, over 90% of FIS graduates have been admitted to QS Top 50 universities. In 2024 alone, 90.84% of graduates received unconditional offers from QS Top 50 institutions, while 88.1% secured offers from universities ranked in the QS Top 30. Notably, 26.19% of the graduating cohort received unconditional offers from Singapore’s top local universities—the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Students at Furen International School are encouraged to aspire towards admissions into NUS, NTU, Oxford, London Imperial College, and other QS top 20 universities. To aid them in achieving this goal, Furen International School provides admissions guidance, preparatory resources, and mock interviews.

Additionally, Furen International School hosts university fairs on an annual basis, giving students in-person opportunities to ask questions and gain insights into their preferred universities.

Supportive Academic Guidance Counselling Team

Furen International School has a dedicated guidance counselling team to support students in their academic and university planning journey.

These counsellors have extensive experience guiding students through university admissions processes and are familiar with application trends across top global institutions.

Supportive and effective learning methods

Targeted Learning and Diverse Teaching Environment

The FIS teaching team breaks the A-Level syllabus into numerous essential topics, enabling focused practice for better results.

Our teachers hail from various parts of the world, each bringing unique cultural perspectives shaped by their home country's education system, and life experiences. This diversity enriches our students' learning experience, helping them embrace a broader and richer global outlook.

Grade-based Banding English Lesson

During orientation and at the start of each subsequent term, students take a standardized English proficiency exam to gauge their progress to fluency. Students are then placed in one of three streams, which are tailored to teach the same material at different paces. Regardless of their stream, students are taught academic English, with a focus on retaining STEM vocabulary. Students are also taught formal academic English writing conventions, so that each graduate arrives at their preferred university prepared to continue their studies.

Highly Qualified Academic Team

FIS boasts a team of highly qualified teachers, many of whom graduated from prestigious universities such as NUS, NTU, and Oxford. Most of them bring extensive teaching experience, ensuring a high standard of education.

One of the Few Schools in Singapore with Student Hostels & 24/7 Student Care

Dedicated Form Teachers

At Furen International School, students receive support from a full-time pastoral care team that is focused on co-ordinating between students and parents, as well as providing mentorship and guidance to students as they navigate their academic journey. Unlike homeroom teachers in some other education systems, our Form Teachers do not teach academic subjects — instead, they concentrate on supporting students in their academic progress and day-to-day life. Form Teachers work to create a supportive environment where students feel cared for and motivated throughout their time studying in Singapore.

24/7 Supervised School-Sanctioned Hostels

Furen International School, in partnership with e-jia homestay, offers students access to two well-equipped, school-sanctioned hostel facilities. These hostels feature amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, reading lounge, and a variety of room types to suit different needs and preferences.

Perfect for parents seeking peace of mind, our school-sanctioned hostels are supervised by dedicated full-time residential staff, available 24/7, who ensure students receive round-the-clock care and support.
