KS Academia Prep is responsible for Summer and Winter Programmes for IGCSE and IB Students in Singapore.
For many IB and IGCSE students, the biggest risk of the June and November–December school holidays isn’t too little revision — it’s revision without structure. Two or three weeks off the school timetable is enough for concepts to fade, momentum to stall, and exam preparation to lose direction just when it matters most. KS Academia Prep’s Holiday Programme replaces unsupervised “catching up” with a structured, small-group intensive that keeps IB and IGCSE students on track across Economics, Mathematics, the Sciences, English and Geography — without waiting for the new term to start.
Each Holiday Programme intake is built around the subjects KS Academia Prep already teaches at IGCSE and IB level: Economics (IGCSE and IB SL/HL), Mathematics (including IGCSE Additional Mathematics and IB Mathematics AA/AI), Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Computer Science, English, and Geography. Sessions are led by subject specialists — including Jason Low, Head of Economics, and Ara, Head of Mathematics — in small groups, so feedback addresses each student’s actual gaps rather than a generic syllabus recap.
What distinguishes KS Academia Prep’s Holiday Programme from a typical school-holiday crash course is Study Supervision. Alongside subject teaching, students are guided through structured, accountable study blocks — identifying what to revise, practising retrieval rather than re-reading, and reviewing progress with a tutor — so the holiday period builds independent study habits that carry back into term time, not just short-term content coverage.
The Holiday Programme runs twice a year, aligned with the school calendar most IB and IGCSE families in Singapore follow: the June school holidays and the November–December year-end break. The June intake typically supports students consolidating the first half of the academic year or preparing ahead of the new IB/IGCSE year group; the November–December intake is geared towards post-mock revision, IB Internal Assessment or Extended Essay progress, and getting ahead of the January term. Both intakes are held at Far East Shopping Centre, #15-06, 545 Orchard Road — a short walk from Orchard MRT.
Places in each Holiday Programme intake are limited to keep groups small. You can check current availability, subjects and session times via WhatsApp or the enquiry form below — there’s no obligation, and it’s a useful starting point even if you’re only weighing up whether your child needs a holiday programme this year.
Each intake combines subject-specific revision — Economics, Mathematics, Sciences, English or Geography at IGCSE or IB level — with Study Supervision: structured, supervised study blocks where students consolidate what’s taught and practise exam technique, rather than simply attending extra lessons.
The programme runs during the June school holidays and the November–December year-end break, in line with the calendar most Singapore international schools follow for IB and IGCSE. Exact dates and available sessions are confirmed closer to each intake.
Economics (IGCSE and IB SL/HL), Mathematics (IGCSE, IGCSE Additional Mathematics, and IB AA/AI), Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, English, and Geography.
No. Small groups let tutors adjust pace — some students use it to close gaps identified after mock exams, others to get ahead before HL coursework or IA/EE deadlines. The starting point is diagnostic, not one-size-fits-all.
Yes. Because the year-end break falls after most schools’ internal mocks, this intake is often used for IA/EE progress alongside subject revision — students bring in-progress drafts and work through them with a subject tutor.
