Summer school in Singapore gives students the opportunity to spend the summer in one of the most modern and safest city-states in Asia, in a multicultural environment where English is the language of education and business. Summer programs in Singapore combine English lessons with science and technology workshops, Mandarin Chinese lessons and the chance to get to know Asian cultures.
Singapore is not a common summer school choice for students from Turkey, and because of the long flight and high cost of living it stands out as a niche option. Programs are usually organized as English and science camps for young people, pre-university programs for high school students, and university summer schools for participants over 18. For students interested in technology and Asia who are looking for a different international experience, Singapore is an exceptional option.
Attending summer school in Singapore offers students a range of benefits beyond language learning.
Singapore is an island city-state in Southeast Asia, at the southern tip of Malaysia. The official languages are English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese and Tamil; English is used in education and business. The currency is the Singapore dollar.
Singapore is known for its modern architecture, large green spaces within the city, botanical gardens and multicultural neighborhoods. Because it is close to the equator, it has a hot and humid tropical climate all year round, with frequent short, heavy showers. There are direct and connecting flights from Turkey to Singapore; the flight is long.
There are different types of summer programs in Singapore depending on the student's age and goals:
Summer schools in Singapore offer different options depending on students' interests:
At summer schools in Singapore, the daily schedule usually starts with morning lessons. Students study in small classes grouped by level. In the afternoon, there are science workshops, project work, museum visits and city tours. Because of the hot and humid weather, some activities take place indoors in air-conditioned spaces.
At weekends, students go on excursions to places such as Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay area, the leisure and beach island of Sentosa, the Singapore Zoo and night safari, the science center, and multicultural neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam.
English summer camps in Singapore usually accept students of all levels, and the student's level is determined at the start of the program. Science and technology programs and pre-university programs usually require an intermediate or good level of English.
University summer schools usually require participants to be over 18, to have a good level of English and to submit a transcript; some programs may also ask for proof of English proficiency or a motivation letter. The application usually requires a student information form, a copy of the passport, health information and, for students under 18, a parental consent form.
Summer programs in Singapore are usually held in June, July and August. Youth camps are usually organized in sessions of one to three weeks, and university summer schools usually last two to six weeks.
Since places in the programs are limited, it is advisable to apply at least three to six months before the program. Application deadlines for university summer schools usually close in the winter and spring.
Since Singapore is a city-state, summer programs are held in different parts of the city, and the advanced public transport network makes it easy to travel between areas.
Summer programs in Singapore are usually fee-paying, and fully funded programs for young people are very rare. However, in some cases there are ways for students to reduce costs.
Since the conditions for scholarships and discounts may change every year, it is important to follow the latest information. At NGGlobal, we keep you informed on this.

Public order rules are strictly enforced in Singapore; breaking rules on littering, eating and drinking in certain areas and similar matters can result in fines. Programs inform students about these rules. Because of the hot and humid weather, students are also given guidance on sun protection and drinking enough water. Many programs offer airport pick-up and a 24-hour emergency line.
