Why Families Choose Viv's Schoolhouse
True English-Mandarin Immersion Every Day
English and Mandarin are integrated throughout the day, with both an English teacher and Mandarin teacher guiding each class. Higher Chinese is also incorporated into our Mandarin curriculum from an early age.
Small Teacher-to-Child Ratios
With ratios from 1:6 in Playgroup to 1:10 in Kindergarten, teachers have more time to understand each child, provide individual guidance and build meaningful relationships
One of Singapore's Smallest Teacher-to-Child Ratio
A smaller class means teachers have the time to truly understand every child.
With a low teacher-to-student ratio — from 1:6 in Playgroup to 1:10 in Kindergarten — we are able to recognise individual learning styles, provide personalised guidance and build meaningful relationships with every student.
Whether your child needs encouragement, additional support or greater challenges, they won't be overlooked.
Parents benefit too.
Rather than receiving occasional photographs, families receive meaningful weekly learning updates through our parent app and can expect responsive communication whenever they have questions.
Learning Through Experience, Not Memorisation
Children learn through cooking, practical mathematics, science, gym, swimming, creative activities and unique field trips — helping them understand concepts through real experiences rather than rote memorisation
A Close-Knit School Community
Every child is genuinely known and supported. Children build confidence, independence and social skills in an environment where they can learn, explore and form meaningful friendships.
A Community Where Every Child Belongs
Viv's Schoolhouse has intentionally built a close-knit school community where children know one another, learn from one another and develop meaningful friendships across different age groups.
Older children naturally model positive behaviours, while younger children gain confidence through observation and interaction.
This strong sense of belonging creates an environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, trying new things and growing into confident learners.

Meet the School Behind Viv’s Schoolhouse
"If this were my own child, what kind of learning environment would I want them to grow up in?"
When Joan was looking for a preschool for her own children, she visited more than 20 schools.
She wanted an environment where children would be genuinely known and cared for while receiving a strong educational foundation. When she discovered Viv’s Schoolhouse, its close-knit community and approach to meaningful learning matched what she had been looking for.
Four years ago, Joan took over the school, preserving the dedicated team and philosophy while introducing thoughtful refinements.
Today, Viv’s Schoolhouse continues to focus on bilingual learning, hands-on experiences and the confidence, curiosity and character children need to thrive.
