Our co-curricular programme, encompassing Sport, Music, Drama, and a wide range of clubs and societies, provides opportunities for students to discover new passions and excel beyond the classroom.

The Curriculum

Our curriculum reflects the academic ambition of NLCS (UK). While schemes of work are adapted to our Singaporean and international context, they are underpinned by the same spirit of scholarship and intellectual stretch.
