Facilities

In August of 1996, the Singapore American School moved into a new campus located on thirty-seven acres in the Woodlands area of Singapore. In 2005, a three year expansion and renovation project was completed. Including a new state-of -the-art High School and Early Childhood Center (opened in 2004) the newly renovated and expanded campus includes additional classrooms and facilities to support an enrollment of up to 3800 students.

With its open airy walkways, flowing fountains, and tropical courtyards located throughout the campus, SAS provides a safe and pleasant learning environment in one of the finest international school facilities in the world.
