A
Visionary
Journey
The
EtonHouse
story
began
in
1995,
when
founder
Dr.
Ng
Gim
Choo,
inspired
by
her
daughter’s
learning
experience
in
the
UK,
established
the
first
EtonHouse
school
in
Singapore.
Her
vision
was
to
create
a
joyful,
nurturing
environment
that
would
foster
a
love
for
learning.
“What brings me the greatest joy is not the number of schools we’ve opened, but the heartfelt stories from parents, about children who wake up excited for school, who love learning, and who thrive in life,” reflected Dr. Ng. “It’s the success we see in each child that makes this journey meaningful.”
Global Growth with Local Impact
Today, the Group’s portfolio spans pre-schools, international schools, enrichment and after-school care, with offerings ranging from premium to affordable options to ensure more families have access to quality education. As an Anchor Operator, EtonHouse operates high-quality quality affordable pre-schools through E-Bridge Pre-Schools. Expansion continues with new campuses planned in Saudi Arabia and Bangkok, Thailand.
Since taking the helm in 2020, Group CEO Mr. Ng Yi-Xian has broadened the Group’s offerings to include Middleton International School, delivering affordable international education, and The Eton Academy, a transformative tuition centre, which expanded in 2025 with Elevate After School Care, offering holistic support for primary school children. Under his leadership, EtonHouse is not only expanding its educational reach but also pursuing a bold vision to grow into a billion-dollar organisation, leveraging both international expansion and diversification of services to achieve sustainable scale.
“As we celebrate 30 years of educational innovation, our mission remains unchanged, to prepare children not just for today’s world, but for the future they will help shape,” said Mr. Ng Yi-Xian. “We will continue to blend proven educational philosophies with cutting-edge technologies to nurture confident, curious, and compassionate global citizens.”
A Night to Remember: Celebrating with 800+ Staff
A highlight of the anniversary celebrations was the EtonHouse Staff Dinner & Dance held at Shangri-La Hotel on 23rd August 2025, where over 800 guests, including colleagues from overseas campuses, gathered to commemorate the Group’s journey. The event was graced by Mr Goh Pei Ming, Minister of State for Social and Family Development, as the Guest of Honour.
With over 5,000 staff globally, this celebration honours the people at the heart of the organisation, its passionate educators and dedicated team members, whose efforts have shaped the lives of thousands of children over the years.
A Commitment to Community
EtonHouse continues to champion social responsibility through the EtonHouse Community Fund (ECF), an IPC charity founded in 2015 during the Group’s 20th anniversary to extend its mission beyond classrooms and campuses. Guided by Dr. Ng’s belief in the power of education to uplift lives, ECF addresses pressing social issues: nearly a quarter of households in Singapore live in relative poverty, and over 22,000 children grow up in public rental flats, facing challenges that leave them disadvantaged in both educational access and readiness.
ECF promotes social mobility by empowering children and youth from low-income families to succeed through education and holistic support, ensuring a fairer starting point for all. Its programmes—from the Joyful Learning Reading Programme to the ECF CARES Bursary and Youth Study Sponsorship—support children from pre-school to post-secondary, nurturing confidence, resilience, and academic progress.
The impact is clear. Children achieve stronger academic and developmental outcomes, while families gain renewed hope and aspirations. Parents speak of children blossoming in confidence, while youths supported by ECF pursue higher education to break the cycle of poverty for their families.
Over the next three years, ECF aims to raise $7 million to empower nearly 7,000 children and youth, sparking a ripple effect that transforms not only individual lives, but also families and communities for years to come.
30 Years in Motion: Celebrating with Purpose
In tandem with its anniversary, EtonHouse has launched a community-wide challenge, “30 Years in Motion”, encouraging students, staff, and families to collectively walk or run 30,000 kilometres by December 2025. This symbolic journey of movement and giving aligns with the Healthier SG initiative and aims to raise funds for children in need. Every kilometre is matched by a minimum donation and supported by Tote Board’s matching grant.

“Education and charity go hand in hand,” said Dr. Ng. “If I can inspire more people to give back through our shared passion, I will continue to do so wholeheartedly.”
