It comprises an Elementary and High School. The Elementary School students range in age from 4-12 while in the High School the students are aged 12–18.

The Elementary School teaches the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which is used by over 1000 schools in 65 countries around the world.

The school caters to both local and foreign students from Grade 7-12. The first batch of Senior School Grade 12 students graduated in 2009.

SJI International High School began classes in January 2007 with 104 students. In January 2012, SJI International welcomed around 700 students from grade 7 to grade 12, a 600% increase in enrolment in five years. Numbers have continued to grow to the current (2015) High School enrolment of 980, and 660 at the Elementary School. SJI International High School was the third "local international" school to open in Singapore (i.e. a school which can admit both local and international students and secondary and pre-university levels) after Anglo-Chinese School (International) and Hwa Chong International School (both of which were also established by well-known local schools). It is open to both Singaporean and international students from the age of 12. The student population is 63% Singaporean, while 31 other nationalities comprise the remaining 37%. In adherence to government regulations, Elementary School enrolment is currently closed to Singapore citizens but open to all foreign students, provided the child holds a valid Dependent’s Pass (tied to the parent’s Employment Pass), Singapore Permanent Residency (Entry/Re -Entry Permit), or Immigration Exemption Order (for diplomats). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SJI International School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
