Singapore American School “Reimagined” Campus Upgrade 2026
S$400 Million Campus Upgrade Finishing In 2026!
After several years of planning and school community engagement involving thousands of parents, educators and student voices, Singapore American School (SAS)’s S$400 million campus upgrade project is scheduled for completion in Fall 2026.
The project reimagines the role of classrooms and buildings in the learning journey: a flexible campus with international school facilities that will meet the needs of current and future students as education changes over time. There will be more space for learning, activities, and new school programs, and modular spaces that enable teachers to adjust learning spaces according to student learning needs. Parents can also expect innovative systems that not only support learning well into the future but also promote energy efficiency, meeting Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum standard and the WELL standard.
- A strategic plan…Since 2014, SAS educators have been on a journey of transforming an existing successful school to better serve students and prepare them for a constantly changing world. The R&D process included thousands of hours of research and visitations to over 100 schools globally. More than 100 college admissions officers were also interviewed, and renowned educational leaders were consulted and a strategic plan informed the creation of spaces on campus that could be prototyped for what the new learning environments in the new campus might yield. These illustrative and investigative prototypes, dubbed pathfinder projects, enabled educators to begin developing the practices and systems within a flexible learning environment to support the school’s strategic plan.
