EtonHouse International Education Group is headquartered in Singapore with 120 schools in over 12 countries. Together these schools provide education to over 12,000 children globally.[1]

There are 9 IB schools in the EtonHouse family.

History

The first EtonHouse school was opened in Singapore in 1995 by Ng Gim Choo, who had been inspired by her observations as a parent of play-based preschools in London.[2][3][4][5] Initially, the school had difficulty acquiring local staff due to a lack of educators with early-childhood education training and so brought in teachers from overseas.[2] By 2010, the Group was earning $40 million a year with 26 schools across Asia with an emphasis on expanding into China.[3][6]

The group managed alongside its regular institutions three main operations: EtonHouse E-Bridge, which offered education at lower fees in return for government priority in opening. High demand for registration created long lines and a requirement for revision to enrollment procedures.[7] In October 2014, EtonHouse announced plans to open its first high school in cooperation with The Singapore Chinese Highschool, to be located in Bukit Timah, to be ready in 2016.[8][needs update] The group also announced a partnership with Hwa Chong International to open a bilingual preschool/primary school in the same city. Due to laws in Singapore, while the preschool will be open for enrollment to everyone, the primary school will be international only, with Singaporean children taken only in exceptional circumstances.[9]

The Group also announced its investment of $110mil in a China campus project in Deyang of Sichuan, China in 2017.[10] The new campus will have a capacity of 5000 students and includes 3 campuses - a standalone kindergarten, a primary and secondary school, a kindergarten and high school campus as well as a teacher training centre.

In September 2017, EtonHouse has expanded to the Middle East through a franchise agreement with MBA Fakhro Group, and opened Etonhouse Bahrain[11] division, the first Etonhouse preschool in Bahrain, and in August 2020 announced plans to open Etonhouse kindergarten.[12]
