Top IB Schools in Singapore (2026)
2026
Singapore is one of the strongest International Baccalaureate (IB) markets globally, with many top-performing international schools offering the IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and Diploma Programme (IB DP). With its inquiry-led learning model, global curriculum framework and strong preparation for university pathways, the IB continues to be one of the most recognised international school options in Singapore. As IB is offered by many schools worldwide, it also gives internationally mobile families a familiar curriculum pathway when relocating between countries.
2026 IB Diploma results are expected in July 2026. Until then, this guide uses the latest publicly available results for the previous year and will be updated accordingly.
