Two Core Pathways

Which path is right for your child?

We serve two distinct groups of international students. Each has a dedicated pathway — and a dedicated team behind it.

🎯

AEIS Track

Government school entry via AEIS exam

Your child enters Singapore as an international student and needs to pass the AEIS exam to enroll in a government school. We prepare them — and keep them there.

AEIS Prep Govt School O-Level Poly / JC University
  • ≥80% AEIS pass rate — the highest published in Singapore
  • English & Math intensive coaching aligned to MOE standards
  • S-AEIS fallback support if needed — at no extra enrolment cost
  • Continuous academic support after school placement
Enquire about AEIS Preparation →
OR
📚

O-Level / SEC Track

Sec 3+ entry → Polytechnic or JC → University

Your child enters at Sec 3 or above and needs full-subject O-Level (SEC) coaching, plus strategic planning for Polytechnic or JC — and ultimately NUS, NTU, or SMU.

Sec 3–4 Entry O-Level / SEC Polytechnic / JC NUS / NTU / SMU
  • Full-subject coverage — not just English and Math
  • L1R4 & L1R5 aggregate strategy for Poly vs JC decision
  • Pathway counseling: Poly GPA route or JC → direct entry
  • Continuity from O-Level through university placement
Enquire about O-Level / SEC →
Singapore O-Level → SEC transition: Singapore is transitioning from O-Level to SEC (Singapore-Cambridge Education Certificate) from 2027. Our curriculum stays current with every MOE change.

⚠️ Important: Students in private tuition centres or international schools do not accumulate CCA records and are not affiliated to any government JC — meaning zero bonus points. The AEIS government-school route is the only way to access this system.
📅 2027–2028 Policy Update: From 2027, O-Level becomes SEC. From 2028, JC admissions switch from L1R5 → L1R4, and the Bonus Point cap reduces from 4 to 3. We track every MOE update so your strategy stays accurate.

Homestay & Guardianship

Safe, supervised, and genuinely cared for.

For families thousands of kilometres away, knowing your child is safe is the first priority. We provide managed homestay and legal guardianship so you can focus on your child's future, not your fears.

Professional Guardianship for Ages 7–18

We act as your local guardian — legally and practically. School communication, medical consent, and daily supervision handled on your behalf.

🛡️ MOE-compliant guardianship
🏠

Managed Homestay Accommodation

Vetted host families near our campuses. Clean, safe, and structured environments for young learners far from home.

📱

Daily Parent Communication

"My daughter arrived in Singapore not knowing anyone. Two years later she passed AEIS, settled into a government school, and is now on track for polytechnic. Inhome Eduhub didn't just prepare her for the exam — they looked after her like family."
— Parent of current student, from Shenzhen · Child enrolled since age 13

Stories from our community

Parents who made the journey — and never looked back.

No competitor in Singapore publishes parent stories. We do — because transparency is how trust is built.

2000+ students enrolled in Singapore government schools since 2010
★★★★★ 🇨🇳

"We tried two other centres before Inhome. Only here did my son's English improve enough to pass AEIS. He entered Dunman High School in Secondary 2. We are so proud — and so grateful."

🎓 AEIS → Sec 2, Dunman High School
Chen Mei, Guangzhou · Son enrolled age 12
★★★★★ 🇨🇳

"Sending your 11-year-old to another country is terrifying. What gave us peace of mind was the guardianship. We got WhatsApp updates every day. Every single day. That's not a service — that's a promise kept."

"Other centres disappear after the exam. Inhome stayed. When my daughter struggled with her first semester in school, they were there — extra lessons, teacher communication, weekly check-ins. That follow-through is rare."

📚 AEIS + Ongoing Academic Support
Lim Hui Ling, Kuala Lumpur · Daughter enrolled age 13
★★★★★ 🇮🇩

"We chose the Bedok campus because it was closest to the homestay. When we moved districts, they transferred my son to Bugis without any fuss. Four campuses sounds like a detail — until you actually need it."

Questions parents ask most

Real answers to the questions we hear every day — in Facebook groups, WeChat, and our first consultations.

Will my child adapt to Singapore schools? 我的孩子能适应新加坡学校吗?
+

Yes — and adaptation is faster with the right support. Singapore schools are structured, English-medium, and welcoming to international students. The biggest challenge is English fluency and the local exam style, both of which our programme addresses directly. Students who come through AEIS with us typically settle in within one school term.

能适应——而且有了正确支持,适应会更快。新加坡学校以英语授课,结构清晰,对国际学生友好。最大的挑战是英语水平和本地考试方式,这也正是我们课程的核心。通过我们AEIS辅导入学的学生,通常在一个学期内就能顺利融入。

What's a realistic AEIS pass rate? AEIS通过率实际是多少?
+
Our Track Record

The national average AEIS pass rate is roughly 30–40%. Our students achieve 80%+ pass rates for those completing the full programme. The difference comes from structured mock exams, small-group teaching (max 8 students), and targeted English and Maths coaching aligned to the actual test format.

新加坡AEIS全国平均通过率约为30–40%。完成我们完整课程的学生通过率达80%以上。关键在于针对真实考试格式的模拟练习、小班教学(最多8人)以及英语和数学专项辅导。

How do I handle homesickness + exam stress? 如何应对孩子的思乡情绪和考试压力?
+

Both are real concerns — and both are manageable. Our homestay families are experienced with international students, and we match by language and background where possible. Weekly tutor check-ins include an emotional wellbeing component. Most parents tell us their child's confidence visibly improves within 4–6 weeks of arrival.

这两点都是真实存在的挑战,但都可以应对。我们的寄宿家庭经验丰富,尽可能按语言和文化背景匹配。每周辅导跟进包含情绪健康关怀。大多数家长告诉我们,孩子到来后4–6周内,自信心就明显提升了。

Can tuition + homestay be bundled? 补习和寄宿可以打包吗?
+
Only We Offer This

Yes — and this is what makes us different. Most centres only do tuition. We provide AEIS tuition, vetted homestay accommodation, and MOE-approved legal guardianship all from one team. One contract, one point of contact, one plan. This significantly reduces the logistical burden on overseas families.

可以——这也是我们的核心差异。大多数机构只提供补习。我们将AEIS补习、经审核的寄宿家庭以及MOE认可的法定监护整合为一个团队,一份合同,一个联系人,一个方案。大幅减轻了海外家庭的协调负担。

What if my child fails AEIS? 如果孩子没通过AEIS怎么办?
+

There is a fallback: S-AEIS (Supplementary AEIS), held in February–March of the following year. We continue preparing students for S-AEIS at no additional enrolment cost if they completed our full programme. Most students who pass S-AEIS go on to enter government schools without issue.

还有备选方案:S-AEIS(补充AEIS),于次年二三月举行。完成我们完整课程的学生,我们将继续备考S-AEIS,不额外收取报名费用。大多数通过S-AEIS的学生都能顺利进入政府学校。

How much does it cost start-to-finish? 从准备到入学总费用是多少?
+

It depends on programme duration, housing choice, and whether you bundle services. We provide a transparent full-cost breakdown in our free consultation — tuition fees, homestay costs, guardianship fees, and exam registration. No hidden charges. Most families budget SGD 1,500–3,000/month depending on the package.

费用取决于课程周期、住宿方式以及是否选择套餐。我们在免费咨询中提供完整费用明细——补习费、寄宿费、监护费及报名费,无任何隐藏收费。大多数家庭根据所选套餐,每月预算约SGD 1,500–3,000

Do you help with school transfer after entry? 入学后有转学支持吗?
+

Yes. Our relationship doesn't end at AEIS. We provide ongoing academic support after school entry — liaising with teachers, facilitating school transfers if needed (we have 4 campus locations across Singapore: Kovan, Bugis, Bedok, and Choa Chu Kang), and monitoring progress each term. This long-term follow-through is one of the reasons parents refer us to friends.

有。我们与学生的关系不止于AEIS。入学后我们提供持续学业辅导——与学校老师沟通、如需要协助转学(我们在新加坡有4个校区:高文、武吉士、勿洛和蔡厝港),并每学期跟踪学习进度。这种长期陪伴,是许多家长向朋友推荐我们的原因之一。

How do I choose between AEIS + international schools? AEIS和国际学校怎么选?
+

AEIS is the route into Singapore government schools — strong academic reputation, significantly lower fees (~SGD 4k/yr vs SGD 25k–50k/yr for international schools), and the same curriculum local students follow. We advise on both paths in our consultation, but AEIS is usually the stronger long-term value for families planning a 3–6 year stay.

AEIS是进入新加坡政府学校的通道——学术口碑优秀,学费远低于国际学校(约SGD 4,000/年 vs SGD 25,000–50,000/年),课程与本地学生相同。我们在咨询中会为您比较两条路径,但对于计划留新3–6年的家庭,AEIS通常是更高性价比的选择。

What is the O-Level / SEC pathway to polytechnic and university? O-Level / SEC路径如何走向理工学院和大学?
+

After completing O-Level (or SEC from 2027), students choose between two routes: Polytechnic — a 3-year diploma programme with strong industry links, then apply to NUS/NTU/SMU via GPA; or JC (Junior College) — 2 years of A-Level preparation, then direct university entry. We help families choose the right fork based on the student's subjects, aggregate score (L1R4/L1R5), and long-term goals. We also provide continuity from O-Level coaching through polytechnic GPA optimisation and university application support.

完成O-Level(或2027年起的SEC)后,学生有两条路可走:理工学院——3年文凭课程,与业界联系紧密,之后凭GPA申请NUS/NTU/SMU;或初级学院(JC)——2年A-Level备考,之后直接申请大学。我们根据学生的科目成绩、L1R4/L1R5总分及长远目标,协助家庭选择最合适的方向。我们同样提供从O-Level辅导到理工学院GPA规划,再到大学申请的全程持续支持。
