Singapore American School
On one of the world’s largest international campuses, a phased master plan and a series of Pathfinder pilots test new, student-centered ways of teaching and learning before scaling them campus-wide.
One of the world’s largest international schools.
A master plan, tested by Pathfinders.
Singapore American School is one of the world’s largest international schools — an independent, American-curriculum day school founded in 1956, serving roughly 4,000 students from preschool through grade 12 on a single 36-acre campus in Woodlands. Education Design International developed a comprehensive master plan to transform that campus in phases.
Rather than wait for construction, EDI and the school built a series of Pathfinder projects — pilot spaces that test new teaching and learning models before they are rolled out more widely. Early-learning studios, primary learning spaces, secondary learning commons, and reworked faculty work areas put the master plan’s ideas to work in real learning spaces, with real students and teachers.
Each Pathfinder is a working test of what the full transformation can become — letting SAS see, use, and refine the new environments before committing the whole campus to them.
