Welcome Message from our Founding Director
The Grange Institution is the first international primary school of Crestar Education Group – forerunners in preschool education in Singapore and across Asia for the past forty years. The aim of opening this school in Singapore is to create a wonderful model learning environment that can be replicated successfully internationally.
We are not out to compete with other established international schools; we just aim to be the best that we can so that our students are set to have the greatest school and learning experience. Our energies are, therefore, in creating a unique family-oriented school in which every child feels happy, valued, and cared for. Our limited enrollment and small size enable all our students to be known by all of our teachers.
We are fully committed to our core values: Respect, Responsibility and Creativity which underpin everything we do and the way we do it.
- Ronald Stones OBE
