Overview of Academic Programmes 

Parents and interested applicants are welcome to visit TeleLingua all year round.  We will be pleased to discuss your child's educational needs and our academic programmes, as well as to provide guided tours of the school and its surroundings.

Students come to TeleLingua at a variety of ages, from very different educational and cultural backgrounds and sometimes with only a limited command of English. While some students would be continuing their education in Singapore, others would be pursuing higher education in other countries.  TeleLingua’s aim, therefore, is to provide a curriculum sufficiently flexible to meet a wide range of demands and rigorous enough to meet the challenge of any national system whilst catering for a wide range of abilities.
