Greetings from FGS
Welcome to the website of Fernvale Gardens School!
What is Fernvale Gardens School like as a school for children with special needs from Autism Spectrum Disorder to Intellectual Disability?
We hope to be a school where children explore and discover,
where attention is devoted to what is distinctive rather than just on what is standard,
where focus is on becoming rather than just on being,
where imagination is free to roam rather than all about gaining knowledge,
where the quality of the journey is more important than the speed at which the destination is reached.
Towards these, we continue to innovate and offer a variety of co-curricular activities and purposeful programmes to discover and develop the potential of the students cognitively, aesthetically, emotionally and physically. We believe in building the character and social emotional competencies of our students so that they find purpose and contribute to the community.
From our website, we hope you will catch a glimpse of the joy and achievements of our students, staff and school. Do contact us if you require more information or would like to be part of the work we do!
Our Approach
Life at FGS is filled with amazing fun and discovery. Our students are constantly engaged through programmes, and learning experiences thoughtfully crafted to develop their skills critical for continued success while nurturing their interests and talents.
Arts Programme
We believe that drama is a powerful vehicle for developing their self-confidence, character, and skills across disciplines. Our drama-based curriculum is designed with Applied Drama Practitioner, Mr Michael Cheng, to provide our students endless opportunities to explore their own voices, and forms of expressions confidently in a safe environment.
i-Tile: An Interactive Educational System
Developed by Dr Goh Wooi Boon, Associate Professor of Nanyang Technological University with a team of researchers, our i-Tile interactive educational system develops students’ literacy, numeracy, and collaborative learning skills through meaningful play. The reconfigurable nature of the i-Tile system allows us to adapt and design new learning activities to meet their students’ diverse learning needs.
Providing Inclusive Learning Experiences
Learning at FGS goes beyond the classroom and school. We create inclusive learning experiences through our satellite partnership with Fernvale Primary School (FVPS) where students enhance their skills across domains through meaningful buddy-reading programmes and activities with other children.
Our Co-Curricular Activities
Our robust co-curricular activities provide our students a safe space to engage in their interests and passion while fostering a sense of belonging by connecting them with students of shared interest.

Parents’ Testimonials
MINDS had done a fabulous job in educating my kid and supported her in school as well as her workplace. The school always encouraged her, push her learning abilities, and mould her skill sets as well as her confidence. With these, we are very grateful to the school and her teachers.
As a working mum, the school teachers constantly update me and a catch up in school to organise talk about my child’s progress and understanding more about what the school has put up.
