For INSEAD families in Singapore
A preschool for your INSEAD year
The MBA runs for about ten months, and your child needs somewhere to feel at home from the first week. Alpha Green is a small bilingual preschool in Upper Bukit Timah that welcomes children for part of a year, starting in any month and leaving on the date you tell us.
How your ten months fit with us
An INSEAD year is short and full. Your child's year with us follows the same shape, so nothing about school becomes one more thing to manage.
Before you arrive
Tour by video
See the school on a WhatsApp video call from wherever you are now, and ask everything you need to.
Your first weeks
Start in any month
Children join us all year round, not only in January. Your child can start as soon as you have settled in.
During the programme
A full day while you study
We are open from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday, with lunch cooked on site every day.
Exchange or graduation
Tell us your last day
Moving to another campus, or heading home? Let us know your child's last day and we will take note of it.
What your child gets here
We are a small school of under 45 children, aged 18 months to 6 years. English is the everyday language. Each child also learns one second language, German, Russian or Mandarin, with a native-speaking teacher in small groups, four days a week. Beginners are as welcome as native speakers.
Children who are new to English join our English support programme, so a child arriving from France, Germany or anywhere else can settle in alongside everyone else.
The day includes outdoor play, walks to nearby parks and the Rail Corridor, weekly music and weekly Capoeira, all included in the fee.
For INSEAD families

Getting to school
We are at 1 Jalan Siap, a few minutes' walk from Hillview MRT on the Downtown Line. From the INSEAD Asia Campus near one-north, the Circle Line connects to the Downtown Line at Botanic Gardens. School transport by private-hire car is available on some routes; ask us about yours.
Questions INSEAD families ask us
Can my child start partway through the year?
Yes. Children join us in every month of the year, subject to space. Tell us when you arrive in Singapore and we will plan the first days with you.
What happens if we leave for a campus exchange or after graduation?
Let us know your child's last day as soon as you know it, and we will take note of it. You don't need to give us a month's notice.
Are fees different for INSEAD families?
No. Fees are monthly and the same for every family. If you tour the school and enrol within 14 days, we waive the SGD 455 registration fee. You can request our fee schedule here.
My child doesn't speak English yet. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Many of our children arrive with little or no English, and our English support programme helps them settle in. Their home language is welcome here too.
Can we visit before we move?
Yes. We offer tours by WhatsApp video call for families who are still overseas, and an in-person visit once you arrive.
See the school before your year begins
Book a tour in person, or by video call if you are still overseas. It takes about 20 minutes.
