Singapore language schools

It is notoriously difficult to find suitable language schools on the Internet. There are a lot of language schools in Singapore, but there isn't a single place to compare all of them and find out which school would be closest to your home or work. This map is a first attempt to bring clarity and give you ideas.

You'll note that Singapore has lots more language schools than you would have thought!

Red Mandarin Language Schools
Purple Japanese Language schools
Yellow Language schools teaching other Asian languages (Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Hindi, Thai, Cantonese etc.)
Green Language schools teaching other world language(s) (mainly Arab)
Pink Language schools offering European languages (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch etc.)
Light blue Combined language schools: offer many or all of the above



As you can see, you won't have a problem finding a Chinese language school in Singapore. English and Japanese are also widely taught. But basically, you can learn any language in Singapore as there is a number of rather broadly based language schools that offer almost any language you can imagine.

This map is a work in progress. It's meant to list adult courses since there are so many tuition centres covering languages that it would crowd out the other courses. In the future we hope to give you a better overview of Singapore language schools and help you to judge not only the locations of language schools but also help you find out which language school near you provides good quality teaching.

At the moment we already work together with a few language schools, so have a look at our main page if you are looking for Chinese language schools, you can sign up directly through us.

Latest news: When you now search for Singapore language schools in Google, you'll see some of the search results displayed in a map as well. Would be interesting to know whether they got that idea from this page! But the results on their page are based only on a web search, while this map is based on a list of private education institutions by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE). Many language schools do not have a website.
