Welcome to Selwyn House School
As an International Baccalaureate World School, Selwyn House School is proud to deliver the Primary Years Programme (IB PYP).
We offer a co-educational pre-school for ages 2.5–5 years and a Year 1–8 girls' independent full primary school.
Our comprehensive curriculum integrated academics with specialised programmes in STEM, arts, sports, and leadership development, empowering students to explore their passions and build resilience. The IB PYP fosters inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and a global perspective.
The school's four core values of Curious, Courageous, Resilient, Inspirational and the IB Learner Profile are woven into every aspect of school life.
