Holistic, Inquiry-Based Learning in an International French Curriculum

At Lumina International Preschool,

we nurture young children with the skills, curiosity, and confidence they need to grow and succeed.

Our approach is rooted in the French curriculum and aligned with an international French outlook emphasising holistic development, inquiry-based learning, and social-emotional growth.

Through engaging, hands-on activities and real-world experiences, children explore, experiment, and take ownership of their learning core principles that guide both Lumina and the French educational philosophy.

Bilingual & Trilingual Pathways

Bilingual Preschool (English–Mandarin)

Our bilingual preschool builds literacy, numeracy, and communication in English and Mandarin. If you’re searching for a dual language preschool or a bilingual preschool near Alexandra, Queenstown, Redhill, Bukit Merah, or Tiong Bahru in Singapore, Lumina International Preschool is an ideal choice.

Trilingual Preschool (English–Mandarin–French)

Our trilingual preschool adds French to a play-based, inquiry-led environment where children learn through exploration and daily language immersion. It’s ideal for French expat families who want to maintain French roots, and for parents seeking an international curriculum in Singapore. If you’re comparing options for a trilingual preschool, Lumina International Preschool offers a clear pathway from ages 2–6.

Nurturing Well-Being & Emotional Intelligence

Lumina places mental health and social-emotional learning (SEL) at the heart of our international curriculum, ensuring children develop self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. As an international preschool in Singapore, we view holistic education as essential. Through dedicated SEL routines, mindfulness for preschoolers, and supportive, relationship-based teaching, children learn to manage emotions, build friendships, and develop a positive self-image. This foundation alongside our inquiry-based learning approach and bilingual/trilingual preschool pathways helps learners grow into academically capable, emotionally secure youngsters ready for future challenges.

Global Citizenship & Sustainability in Action

At Lumina, a core pillar of our school project is to inspire students to think globally and act locally. We believe that fostering a strong sense of responsibility and leadership begins with real-world experiences. Through hands-on projects that address sustainability challenges, collaborations with local organisations, and interdisciplinary learning, our students are encouraged to actively engage with their communities. This approach helps them understand the impact of their actions, develop a sense of civic duty, and become compassionate, proactive changemakers.
