Who is Ng Gim Choo?

Mrs. Ng Gim Choo started the first EtonHouse school in Singapore in 1995. Today there are 71 EtonHouse pre-schools and international schools across 9 countries with over 5000 children from 61 different nationalities. Mrs. Ng started her career as an accountant and worked in firms such as Ernst & Young for several years before becoming a housewife and following her husband and 3 children to England in the 1980s. As a mother, she was pleasantly surprised when her children settled-in very well into their new pre-schools and talked excitedly about what they did in school. They found the experiences in school so stimulating that they wanted to go to school even on weekends and were often disappointed when school holidays came around. As a parent volunteer, Mrs. Ng was impressed by the teaching and learning philosophy that the British schools followed, where children were happy and involved with their experiences in school. The children were confident, happy and enthusiastic learners. It was the intention of offering similar educational experiences in Asia that was the inspiration behind setting-up of the first EtonHouse school at Broadrick Road in Singapore. The original school is now an authorised International Baccalaureate World School.
