It serves kindergarten through secondary school.[1] Its campus, located on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3,[1] has 22,000 square metres (240,000 sq ft) of space,[2] on 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres).[1]

History

The predecessor of this institution opened in 1967. 13 years later several French companies spent three million Singapore dollars to establish create an established French international school, and in September 1984 the school opened in a Bukit Tinggi campus. Around 1993 the primary school moved to a rental property on Thomson Road due to growth at the school, and in that year the school began establishing plans for a new campus. The current campus, initially designed to house 1,000 pupils, opened in May 1999. At a later point the school began an expansion project so the campus could house 2,400 students; as part of the project there would be 26 additional classrooms in a structure built on top of the previous kindergarten facility. The primary CP/CP1 and kindergarten levels were temporarily moved to the former Serangoon Garden South School facility.[1]
