Anglo-Chinese School (International) Singapore

Anglo-Chinese School (International) (ACS (International) Singapore), Singapore is a Methodist private school, owned by the Methodist Church in Singapore. Students take a 6-year course, with the IGCSE in the fourth year and the International Baccalaureate in the sixth year. Before 2007, students took the International A-Levels. The school opened its doors on January 2005 with 150 students of 20 different nationalities, located in Holland Village on the former premises of the now defunct Buona Vista Secondary School at 61 Jalan Hitam Manis. The current principal is P. Kerr Fulton-Peebles, a Scotsman who was previously heading King Edward's School, Witley in the United Kingdom and succeeded John C. A. Barrett on 1 January 2010. The school need not seek permission from the Ministry of Education of admitting Singaporean students as it follows several of the Ministry's policies such as the MOE's bilingual policy and observe practices like singing the National Anthem, while the school runs its own programme. On 12 April 2004, the school was approved as one of the two proposals submitted among five proposals. The school was approved based on the strength of the management team, coherence of curriculum offerings, and the quality of education they could provide to the students.
