Our vibrant new campus in Upper Bukit Timah opened its doors in January 2025 and has now completed its first successful semester. We remain committed to upholding the high academic standards and holistic education that have defined The Perse School Cambridge.

Our new campus, dynamic leadership, and future-focused curriculum bring a fresh chapter to The Perse School (Singapore). Under the guidance of Principal Lynne Oldfield and Head of Primary Kephren Sherry—who brings over 30 years of experience from leading schools across the UK and Asia—and through our strong, enduring ties with The Perse School Cambridge, students benefit from enriched learning opportunities, including shared resources, international exchanges, and collaborative global projects. This dynamic environment prepares them with the skills and mindset to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Located in a stunning natural setting in Singapore, our campus is designed to be more than just a place for learning—it is a carefully curated space that fosters **creativity, collaboration, and personal growth**. Surrounded by nature reserves, it provides a unique environment where education and the natural world come together to inspire young minds.

As our school grows, we are seeking dedicated and passionate educators to join us on this journey. This is a **unique opportunity to work with motivated, intellectually curious students** in a vibrant international school, where staff are supported by a dynamic leadership team and excellent professional development opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming talented teachers who share our vision and commitment to excellence.
