Novistra Capital is pleased to announce that Singapore based Futuris Education, has successfully partnered with The Perse School, Cambridge and won a highly competitive tender conducted by Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) to operate an international school in the country.
Futuris Education Pte Ltd will operate The Perse School (Singapore) (TPSS) with a future-focused Cambridge curriculum to equip students with academic, critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills. TPSS will open to students from 3-11 years of age from January 2025 and extend to include 12-18 years of age from 2026.
The Perse School Cambridge, a prestigious co-educational independent school founded in 1615, provides an exceptional education for students aged 3 to 18 across three campuses. Renowned for its strong academic performance, the school fosters a love of learning while offering a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports and the arts. With a focus on pastoral care, The Perse nurtures personal development, preparing students for success in an increasingly global society.
“We are excited to bring The Perse’s long-standing tradition of excellence to the International School sector in Singapore at a fee level that will make a top tier British education attainable,” says Johan Stromsater, CEO of Futuris Education. “Our mission is to nurture happiness and success among our students, and we are committed to developing a diverse student community and an inspiring educational environment where every student can thrive.
Ed Elliott, Head of The Perse School Cambridge, remarks: “The close collaboration between our campuses will ensure the consistent delivery of The Perse’s high standards and values. In a typical year, 40-50 Perse Cambridge pupils will receive offers from Oxford or Cambridge Universities. Perse Cambridge students received a combined 718 university offers this year, including 589 from the UK’s prestigious Russell Group universities. Our success in university placements stems from an excellent academic education, complemented by our commitment to individual personal development through extracurricular programs like our Perse Exploration Society. These initiatives prepare students for further education, employment and adult life. Offering pathways to higher education and careers has been a hallmark of The Perse for centuries, and we aspire to extend these opportunities to our students in Singapore.”
Vipul Bhargava, Partner at Novistra Capital commented: “We are delighted to have supported Futuris Education on their partnership with The Perse School Cambridge. Singapore is a highly coveted international school market evidenced by the sheer competitiveness of the EDB bid and we have no doubt that The Perse School (Singapore) will be a top quality school given the focus on student well-being and outcomes by Futuris and The Perse School Cambridge. We wish them the best of luck.“
