SJI International Elementary School: Shaping Character, Inspiring Excellence

At SJI International Elementary School in Singapore, students don’t just learn, they grow into individuals of strong character, academic excellence, and global awareness.

With a holistic curriculum catering to expatriate children aged 4 to 12 years, the school blends rigorous academics, sports, creative arts, digital technology and wellbeing with an unwavering focus on character education.

At the heart of this approach is The Virtues Project™, a globally recognised framework that translates universal values into daily habits. More than a subject, character education is woven into every aspect of school life, shaping students to be compassionate, responsible, and resilient individuals.

“Our Character Education programme is embedded in everything we do,” explains Andrea Lim, Virtues Coordinator. “It fosters respect, understanding, and kindness, ensuring our students grow not only as learners but as people of integrity.”

Through engaging classroom discussions, reflective practices, and real-world applications, students learn to navigate challenges with humility, perseverance, and self-discipline. The programme equips them with the tools to make upstanding decisions, build healthy relationships, and contribute positively to their communities.

Lucia, a Grade 6 student shares "The school has helped us to understand and be familiar with the virtues, to help us grow up to be kind, compassionate people and show unity when working together”.

Similarly, Evie, another Grade 6 student, says, "Virtues have helped me to understand and improve my way of living."
