SSIS offers a safe learning environment for children and adults, where children feel free to question their learning, and are encouraged to challenge their surroundings. Students are involved in all areas of school life beyond the classroom. We understand and value the trust that you place in us when you choose SSIS for your child.
Founded in 1996, Suzhou Singapore International School (SSIS) is the first, oldest and most experienced International School in Suzhou-China, fully authorized IB World School.
Our EY programme is where fostering a lifetime love of learning begins and is specially designed for students 2 to 6 years of age.
Our Elementary School follows the IB Primary Years Programme in Grades 1 to 5. This prepares our students to become active, caring lifelong learners.
Our Secondary School follows the IB Middle Years Programme for Grades 6 to 10. In our Secondary School we seek to provide a holistic and challenging learning experience for students.
As an IB World School our curriculum is centered around the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) frameworks.
Suzhou Singapore International School
As parents, when looking for the right school for our children, we consider many factors; academic programs, accreditation, reputa- tion, exam results, extra-curricular activities program; all of which are very important factors that are offered by most international and private schools around the globe, however it is that moment when a family contacts our school or steps through our doors for the very first time that they can truly see the environment of trust, see the smiles on the children’s faces, hear the sounds, watch the interactions and feel the happiness and welcome that sets SSIS apart from everyone else.

Graduation, a moment brimming with significance and pride, holds a special place in the hearts of all. For this year's Grade 12 Graduation Ceremony, we chose to split the ceremony into two unforgettable days, ensuring a complete and joyful celebration of every essential aspect.
The Grade 5 students have just completed their PYP Exhibition, a culminating project at the end of the Primary Years Programme.
SSIS Class of 2023 has achieved a remarkable milestone by receiving 1.03 million USD in scholarship worldwide. This is an outstanding achievement.
Last Friday, the youngest learners of SSIS had their highly anticipated Early Years Sports Day.
In April, Ruby Kayama, a student in Grade 9, successfully organized a personal mini-exhibition on campus to showcase her calligraphy skills as part of her Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) award project.
SSIS was proud to host the successful ACAMIS Track and Field event on May 5/6. We welcomed a total of 9 schools and over 200 athletes from Macao, Xiamen, Qingdao, Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and Suzhou.
The annual primary sports day event was extended to two days, taking place on April 19 and April 27, with a diverse range of activities that challenged students in different ways.
Main Event
For our coming unit Sharing the Planet, we are looking at how living things are adapted to their environment. We will observe their physical characteristics and how it helps them survive in their environment. We will take the initial observations from this trip to begin discussions around animal adaptations, survival, environment, and interactions with other living things.
Attending SSIS means to me an opportunity to broaden my horizons. To have the blessing and opportunity to attend an international school means to learn not only your average school topics, but how to share environments with other cultures and groups of people that you might not be familiar with.
The SSIS community is honestly the ideal mixture of acceptance, encouragement and quirk. If I were to have learned anything at SSIS, it would be to simply not be ordinary.
I am lucky to be a student at SSIS. Over the years, the school has taught me things beyond just academics. In SSIS, I am offered a variety of extracurricular activities that range from service, and creativity, to activity.
Being a student at SSIS has made me realise the importance of learning and how to be a lifelong learner. This school has made me want to be the best version of myself.
