Frequently Asked Questions

As a non-profit institution, SJI International depends entirely on tuition fees and the generosity of our community to sustain our mission. This partnership is crucial in ensuring we continue to offer a holistic Lasallian education to our students.

Your contribution to the school’s annual giving programme is one of the most impactful ways you can support SJI International. It is a vital source of funding that helps us deliver an education that goes beyond excellence to one that is truly exceptional. Gifts to this programme enable us to create unique learning experiences, address emerging needs, and enrich both student and teacher development. Your support helps fund initiatives, resources, and opportunities that are not covered by the operating budget, ensuring a well-rounded education for all.

The funds raised through our annual fundraising efforts are allocated based on your preference to either the SJI International Building and Development Fund or the SJI International Scholarships and Bursaries Fund.

Through the Scholarship Programme, your contribution will help us continue offering scholarships to attract talented students from Singapore and the region, particularly those from families who might otherwise struggle to afford a quality education.

Gifts to the SJI International Scholarships and Bursaries Fund will enable us to expand financial aid to every deserving student, ensuring that our community remains inclusive and diverse, built on the brightest minds. This commitment supports our mission to provide an education that goes from excellent to exceptional.

The SJI International Building and Development Fund helps us meet future infrastructure needs, including building or expansion projects. Your contribution ensures that our facilities continue to support the highest standards of education, providing our students with the best possible learning environment.

When you give, you become integral to what makes our school exceptional. Your support enhances the quality of education we offer, helping us maintain a standard of excellence. More than that, your contribution connects you to a greater cause, a shared mission that extends beyond individual benefit. And, by supporting our efforts, you help the school continue to offer tuition fees that remain lower than those of many of our peer institutions, ensuring that a high-quality education is accessible to more families.

Our goal is to have a diverse student population. Raising tuition fees substantially would be counterproductive to this vision, as it would narrow the pool of potential applicants, preventing us from welcoming many talented students who could otherwise flourish and contribute to our school's legacy.

Every contribution matters; your involvement is just as valuable as your donation. You can support the school's annual giving programme in various ways and don't have to make a one-time lump sum payment. If it's more convenient, you can pledge a small monthly donation. We understand that everyone's circumstances are different, and while we don't expect you to give beyond your means, we truly appreciate and welcome your participation. All we ask is that you join us in supporting this important cause.

By supporting the annual giving programme, you help strengthen the school’s opportunities, programmes, and reputation in international education. As a former student or parent, you directly benefit from this growing prestige. Together, we can build a lasting legacy that continues to enrich the school community and the value of an SJI International education.

Yes. Donations to the school’s annual giving programme provide the greatest flexibility for us to meet our most pressing needs. Your gifts are a significant and vital source of support. Every gift does count!

As a non-profit institution, we do not receive government funding and rely entirely on the generous contributions of our community to support our mission.

All residents in Singapore or Singapore-registered companies will qualify for 250% tax deductions for qualifying donations to the SJI International Scholarships and Bursaries Fund and the SJI International Building and Development Fund. For terms and conditions, refer to IRAS.

Please give what feels right for you. Recent graduates may choose to start with smaller contributions, while more established parents often take a leadership role by making larger gifts that can support multiple students and inspire others to follow their example in the future. Ultimately, every contribution - large or small - makes a meaningful impact.
