Stamford American offers a distinctly American pathway from 18 months to 18 years. A changing world requires a changing curriculum, which encourages the natural inclination of youngsters to adopt new ideas, design, engineer and innovate, even from a young age. Stamford American proudly offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) commencing at age 3. Integrated into the curriculum are new programs of inquiry in science, technology, engineering, arts, math and innovation. The specialist teaching team monitors individual progress aligned to USA Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework from 18 months.

And most importantly, Stamford American recognizes that children do better when there’s a strong partnership between educators and parents, which is why the new campus has our Parent Café where parents can grab a coffee or two at ‘The Nest’ and wait for their little ones. Parents are also able to design the school week around their family’s needs. As life gets busier, a flexible schedule offers 3, 4 and 5 day options and extensive co-curricular activities with 10 over choices to choose from all under one roof. Plus, busy parents can have the option to drop their child as early as 7.15am by signing up for our Breakfast Club or extend the school day and pick up your child till 6pm with our Afternoon Tea Time Club.
