A purpose-built campus where inquiry comes to life
At Newton, your child spends each day in a purpose-built campus designed to inspire curiosity and discovery. A dedicated field for physical education and soccer, alongside an outdoor sandpit, playground and thoughtfully designed studios, creates rich opportunities for movement, exploration and learning. The campus also offers the EtonHouse ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion Programme, as well as Japanese for native-speaking learners—all within a central location just minutes from the city centre.
An environment children can trust is what makes growth possible. When your child feels settled and secure, they take the small risks that meaningful learning invites: exploring possibilities, revisiting ideas and building new understandings. That’s how curiosity becomes capability, and how children build the confidence they carry into primary school and beyond. We’ve been an IB World School since 2010, and that framework — alongside the Reggio Emilia approach — shapes our Inquire · Think · Learn programme.

Three key pillars
What sets us apart
Trusted IB curriculum
We are Singapore’s first stand-alone pre-school to receive IB Primary Years Programme accreditation, and an IB World School since 2010. Our transdisciplinary programme of inquiry keeps children curious, and our graduates go on to thrive in both local and international primary schools.
Immersive language programmes
A rich multilingual learning environment where English and Mandarin are seamlessly integrated into everyday learning. With the ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion Programme and a Japanese programme, children develop language fluency and intercultural understanding through authentic experiences.
An international community
We’re a closely-knit community of families from over 20 countries. Our language programmes and multicultural approach help children build understanding, acceptance, and respect for cultures beyond their own — and alongside the IB PYP, our holistic curriculum nurtures internationally-minded individuals.
Innovative learning spaces
Environment as the third educator
A dedicated building with gardens, studios, and room to move — every space made to invite discovery.

From our families
★★★★★
“From the first moment we felt like we were part of a big family — the educators and staff are close, caring, attentive, and helpful with everything. They know all the children and parents personally. Something that, as non-Chinese speakers, we appreciate a lot is that EtonHouse Newton has an excellent Mandarin programme with educators our son adores.”
