A Must-Read for Newcomer Families: How to Help Your Child Transition into Singapore’s Primary & Secondary Schools

For families who have recently moved to Singapore, one of the biggest concerns is:

Can my child adapt smoothly to a new school system and language environment?

Whether your child is joining a local government school or an international school, English proficiency often becomes the key factor that affects their confidence and academic performance.

🎯 Why is “Bridging English” So Important?

In Singapore, most subjects—including Math, Science, and even Social Studies—are taught in English. Children who are still adjusting to the pace and structure of English in Singaporean classrooms may face several challenges:

  • Struggling to follow classroom instructions
  • Falling behind in reading comprehension
  • Weak writing skills and lack of logical flow
  • Fear of speaking up in English and feeling isolated socially

That’s where a Bridging English programme becomes essential. It’s not just “extra tutoring”—it’s a well-designed transition pathway that helps students confidently join mainstream classes.
