HFSE International School, previously known as Happy Family School of Excellence, was established in November 2015 when a group of friends realised the need for a stable and loving environment to be set up where the children in expatriate families can be nurtured and educated. Under the devoted guidance of professional and trained teachers, students at HFSE International School are provided with the perfect conditions to blossom into colourful and all-rounded individuals.

The curriculum that is being taught at the HFSE is a combination of the major subjects
taught in the local school (Singapore Primary School System) and subjects taught in the students’ home country.
This is to prepare students for the local school entrance examination (should parents decide to enrol them) which they must pass in order to attain entry into local schools.
