A unique blend of Singapore-Cambridge and international curricula since 1960
St. Francis Methodist School (SFMS) is a private Methodist institution in Upper Bukit Timah, offering an unusually broad range of academic pathways: Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge AS/A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Founded in 1960 and serving approximately 700 students from over 20 countries, SFMS combines small class sizes with a values-driven Methodist ethos.
