About SAMS
Catering to children and youths on the autism spectrum who are able to access the national curriculum at the primary and secondary levels,
St. Andrew’s Mission School (SAMS) seeks to prepare our students for life by providing a holistic education that is founded in the mainstream academic curriculum, and enhanced by life and vocational skills training.
To us, every child is treasured. In embracing students with autism, we hope to develop the whole person academically, physically, socially, emotionally and recreationally, while maximising opportunities in sports, arts and other interest areas, so as to ready our students for independent living and work.
At the same time, we understand the importance of developing our students to be integrated members of the community. To that end, we believe in engaging the community, and partnering you, parents in our journey together to impact their learning experience and transform lives.
Our new school has 75 places per cohort, providing for 500 primary and 350 post-primary places at steady state.
The Social Service Agency, St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital-Singapore Anglican Community Services (SAMH-SACS) with the Diocese of Singapore responded to the Singapore Ministry of Education to set up a new ASD-NC school, St. Andrew’s Mission School (SAMS). SAMS has a mainstream school environment that is based on an inclusive pedagogical approach to help instruct children with autism not only in the key life skills and social-emotional skills in order to be self-sufficient and independent but also in the key components of the national curriculum so that each child is enabled to reach his or her personal excellence and potential. St Andrew’s Mission School is also a member of the Anglican Schools Education Board. This facilitates greater collaboration between SAMS and the rest of the Anglican schools.
At the same time, SAMS is also supported by St. Andrew’s Autism School (SAAS), an autism-specific school, with 14 years of experience in educating students with autism. This partnership of the Anglican schools/Education Board and an autism-specific school, SAAS, has twin capabilities in supporting SAMS to deliver the Singapore National Curriculum and in providing educational and support services for students
with ASD.
