Megaworld is not only leveling up the playing field for real estate in Bacolod City by introducing international-calibre townships and businesses, but it is also set to bring an international school to the region. Bacolod City will soon welcome the first Singapore International School in the entire Negros Island Region and Western Visayas at a Megaworld Township. The company’s 53-hectare Northill Gateway along the Airport Access Road will be the home of the first Singapore international school in the region, and this marks a major milestone in the city’s educational landscape.
Singapore School Bacolod at Northill Gateway
Singapore School Philippines and property giant Megaworld Corporation have entered into a strategic partnership to establish Singapore School Bacolod at Northill Gateway. This is the company’s 53-hectare township located along the Bacolod-Silay Airport Access Road. Meanwhile, Singapore School Philippines is one of only two institutions in the country offering the world-renowned Singaporean curriculum,
The new campus will offer a comprehensive educational pathway that includes globally recognized university qualifications, such as:
- Singaporean curriculum for Preschool, Primary, and Lower Secondary levels
- Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) for Upper Secondary
- International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for Pre-University
Singapore School Philippines currently operates campuses in Manila, Clark in Pampanga, Silang in Cavite, and Cebu, bringing decades of expertise in delivering internationally benchmarked education programs. The Bacolod campus marks its first expansion in the Negros Island Region and in Western Visayas, reinforcing its commitment to making world-class education accessible to more Filipino families.
“Northill Gateway offers excellent infrastructure that supports the learning and community-building environment we envision. It is fitting that Singapore School pupils grow in a modern, holistic environment that sparks innovation, practices sustainability, and fosters a lifestyle of art, slow food, and movement. By finding a home in this Megaworld township, the school can play its part in responding to the growing need for quality, relevant international education: nurturing global citizens who think critically, act compassionately, and help shape a better Philippines and world,” says Trixie S. Suarez, president, Singapore School Bacolod.
What to Expect With This Collaboration
“Northill Gateway is envisioned as a dynamic, master-planned lifestyle township, and the arrival of Singapore School Bacolod is a significant step toward bringing this vision to life. Surrounded by scenic views of the mountains and sunsets, the township provides an inspiring backdrop for learners, enhancing the overall learning experience,” shares Graham Coates, head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
At the Northill Gateway, Singapore School Bacolod will have direct access to Northill Parade, home to a vibrant mix of retail and dining brands, including McDonald’s, and soon Denny’s, JT’s Manukan, and Adidas, among others.
The school will also be within walking distance of premier residential developments, such as Forbes Hill and Fountain Grove, offering families convenient access to high-quality living spaces in secure, thoughtfully designed neighborhoods.
