Let’s start with the good ol’ co-curricular activities (CCAs) and extracurricular activities (ECAs) we loved when we were kids.

These range from the well-known Singapore Scout Association and Red Cross Youth to only-in-Singapore ones like the National Cadet Corps, and unique options like tchoukball, Singapore Youth Flying Club, and more.

Has your kid got a passion for sports or the arts that you’re keen to nurture? Good news! In Singapore, you can find everything –from rugby classes, swimming, coding, art, yoga, music and dance, football, theatre, gymnastics, martial arts, and even cooking! Got a very young child but keen on starting them early? Not a problem - Singapore has loads of baby and toddler classes for you and bub to try out too.

Whether you want to pick up the Chinese language, give your kid a boost through English as an Additional Language, or need a student care centre for after school. Here’s our list of some of the best centres on the island.
