EtonHouse International Education Group

Headquartered in Singapore, EtonHouse currently operates more than 100 schools across Singapore, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan, Myanmar, Kazakhstan and the Middle East. EtonHouse schools follow an international curriculum inspired by research and best practice. In the early years, a child-responsive Inquire-Think-Learn integrated curriculum approach inspired by the Reggio Emilia Educational Project of Northern Italy is used. In the primary, middle and high school levels, EtonHouse follows the International Baccalaureate(IB) Programme, with its inquiry-centred, multi-disciplinary philosophy. EtonHouse schools in Singapore (Newton, Thomson, Broadrick and 718 Mountbatten) and China (Suzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu and Wuxi) in China are authorised IB World Schools. EtonHouse schools and pre-schools offer an excellent second language programme. The integrated bilingual programme and Mandarin immersion programme develops in children a strong Mandarin foundation. EtonHouse also has a dedicated research and training arm that focuses entirely on quality and professional development of its teaching staff. In addition, it started REACH (Reggio Emilia in Asia for Children), part of the Reggio Children International Network, to bring about greater collaboration, dialogue and learning amongst the Reggio-inspired schools in Asia. Over the years, EtonHouse has expanded successfully in China and other parts of Asia. It has received several commendations from government bodies, international educational networks and is at the forefront of international education in the Asia Pacific region.
