Insworld’s Pedagogy

Insworld is a private school for secondary education in Singapore. We offer a different approach to education to local and international students. As a private school in Singapore with a British-based curriculum, we have the freedom to adapt the way we work to match our students’ needs. We choose to work only with small classes (4-12 students) as we believe this gives students the best opportunity to learn. Small classes make it possible to maintain a healthy classroom dynamic and a clear focus on academic objectives, whilst attending to the learning needs of each student as an individual.

As a private school in Singapore we are in a position to take a pragmatic and flexible approach to how we work. Our aim is to combine the best of the Asian and the Western approaches to education. We want students to maintain a scholastic discipline that allows a continued focus on key learning objectives. However, we also want our students to be actively engaged in their classes at every level; asking questions, clarifying doubts, exploring ideas. What makes Insworld one of the best private schools in Singapore is that we adapt our approach to match the ways our students learn. The individual student is the focal point of our work. Because we know our students well, we know how to work with them in the most effective way to promote learning and academic achievement.

Insworld supports students outside the classroom. We appoint a Personal Tutor for each student who will monitor all aspects of that student’s progress. Students meet their Personal Tutor every week. This is an important opportunity to give the school feedback and to raise concerns. This could be especially important for international students who may be new to living and studying in Singapore and to the way Insworld operates. If we identify any deep-rooted academic problems that require extra work, we arrange, at no extra cost, one-to-one sessions with the subject teacher to go back to basics and resolve the problem.

As a result of the way we organize our programmes, Insworld students learn quickly and accurately. We deliver full IGCSE and IAL/GCE A-Level programmes in 18 months, rather than two academic years. This can mean a significant saving in cost and time. In addition, we can be flexible about programme duration and enrolment dates. This can allow international students to progress with their education without losing time or repeating material they have already learned.
