Dynamics International School Singapore
Dynamics International School (DIS) offers primary to lower secondary education (up to Grade 9) and is expanding alongside the children and families we serve. As the flagship school of Dynamics Therapy Group, Singapore’s largest and most comprehensive therapy ecosystem, DIS provides a uniquely inclusive environment where therapy and academics are fully integrated. In-house speech, occupational, psychological and behavioural specialists work closely with teachers to support every student’s growth academically, socially and emotionally. Small class sizes, low student-to-teacher ratios and 360° wraparound support help every learner progress with confidence.
We deliver a personalised approach to the mainstream Cambridge curriculum, guided by Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) and enriched by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC), both of which promote inquiry, global citizenship and interdisciplinary thinking. Founded by an Occupational Therapist and mother whose own child inspired this mission, DIS is more than a school, it is a community that sees, supports and celebrates the unique superpower of every learner. One team. One plan. One school that walks with your family, every step of the way.

What makes us unique?
Dynamics International School is intentionally small, allowing for very individualised attention to the unique needs of each student, including social and emotional development. Families who enroll their children with us will be assured that they become capable learners, keeping in mind that their learning journey requires a unique and different approach.
Programme Structure
At DIS, we offer two tailored learning pathways: Mainstream Education and Special Educational Needs Support. These pathways are designed to provide all students with relevant, engaging, and challenging learning experiences. Our students build subject knowledge, develop personal and global awareness, and cultivate independent inquiry skills. They are prepared to learn beyond the classroom and to thrive as confident, curious global citizens.

In order to provide students across Dynamics International School with experiences that are relevant, interesting and challenging, and to identify opportunities for progression, we have adopted a curriculum structure provisioning for:
Mainstream Division
Students can access the range of British National Curriculum and International Primary Curriculum (IPC) subjects for their Key Stage, modified in the light of their developmental level and individual educational needs. Specialist areas (the ‘additional curriculum’) are covered both within National Curriculum subjects (e.g. a student may be withdrawn to work on visual perceptual skills or independent mobility). To avoid making the curriculum too abstract; teachers ensure that learning is linked to practical activities that are consolidated and applied in practical sessions.
Special Needs Division
We provide support for students with special needs, many of whom have no access to the local or international mainstream schooling. Our Special Needs Support is divided into two levels:
