Introduction
Excelsior International School (now rebranded to Repton International School) is situated in the "City of Knowledge," Bandar Seri Alam, spanning a 20-acre campus. The school guides students from ages 3 to 18 through a blended academic pathway, incorporating the Montessori approach in the early years, the Singapore Ministry of Education mathematics and science frameworks, and the Cambridge International syllabus up to IGCSE. In grades 11 and 12, students can choose between the IB Diploma Programme or Cambridge A Levels.
A notable feature is the English Language Support (ELS) program, which uses full immersion in standard subjects rather than segregating non-native speakers. The campus equips students with specific, practical environments, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, dedicated art and craft laboratories, drama and dance studios, and a 500-seat auditorium. Boarding is also available, giving senior students the option to live on campus while engaging in evening study sessions and extracurricular clubs.
