About this school
St Francis Methodist School (SFMS) was founded in 1960 by Mrs Harriet T. Doraisamy as St Francis Girls' School, starting with 27 students preparing for Cambridge exams. The Methodist Church in Singapore took it over in 1995, when it was renamed, became co-educational and moved to Mount Sophia. Since 2001 it has been at its current campus on Upper Bukit Timah Road, next to Hillview MRT. SFMS is EduTrust certified, registered as a charity, and teaches within a Christian framework.
The school's international programmes are:
- International Cambridge Primary (Years 1-6)
- Singapore-Cambridge Lower Secondary (Years 7-8)
- Cambridge IGCSE or Singapore-Cambridge GCE O Level (Years 9-10)
- A Senior High School Preparatory Programme (Years 9-10)
- The Western Australian Certificate of Education, WACE (Years 11-12)
SFMS set up a Language Centre in 1998 to help international students build their English, and many of its students come from overseas. The custom-built campus is in a green, residential part of Bukit Timah. Student life includes co-curricular activities, community programmes for the less privileged, a student council and character-building activities.
