The school is situated in Pasir Laba Camp (PLC) in the western part of Singapore. For several years before 2005, it was located at Pulau Tekong when its new premise was undergoing construction.
The school currently has a total of twelve staffed companies, which are divided into three schools. These companies are named Alpha to Mike (excluding the letter I). The Advanced Specialists Training Wing (ASTW) has become the Warrant Officer and Specialist Advanced School; hence it no longer falls under the umbrella of SCS.
In 2010, SISPEC was renamed to Specialist Cadet School (SCS) to reflect the wider scope of the school, as it no longer provides Specialist training only for Infantry units.
