Feeling overwhelmed by your school search in Singapore? You’re not alone - and you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way.
That’s what more and more families are discovering as they use Doris, a free digital tool designed to help you compare and explore international schools in Singapore - without pressure, confusion, or sales fluff.
Whether you’re planning a move from overseas or already living here and switching schools, the decision can feel massive. Because it is.
This isn’t just another box to tick. It’s about where your child will grow, learn, and feel at home.
Meet Doris: A Smarter Way to Search International Schools in Singapore
Doris is an independent digital tool that helps families cut through the chaos of school choice.
You tell Doris what matters most - location, curriculum, budget, learning needs - and it suggests a personalised shortlist of international schools that actually fit. Doris isn’t a directory - it’s a smart matching tool that curates schools based on what you care about.
It’s designed especially for expat parents, but just as useful for local families too.
Importantly, Doris works with schools - but they can’t pay to boost their listings or influence your results. You’re in control. Always. We’re always 100% impartial with our school matches.
