Our History

Stansfield College was founded in 1993. Our mission today is a simple one - to make learning enjoyable. Many of us at Stansfield College including our Chairman and Deans have degrees from overseas universities and we understand the importance of enjoying the learning experience. We have dedicated ourselves towards the purpose of our mission as we believe that you get more out of your education if you truly enjoy the process. We also believe that this attitude extends beyond just the time we spend in school. After all, we are all always learning, no matter how old we are so we strive for a simple goal – enjoy learning, enjoy life!

We also know that we enjoy something the most when we can see its true value to us, which is why we strive to offer our students the opportunity which has resulted in our ability to produce many top students over the years, including First Class Honours graduates in our international partners’ programmes consistently, every year. Over the years, we realised that not all interested students qualified for entry into our partners’ programmes and so our range of courses were expanded to include several foundation programmes as

well as Certificate and Diploma programmes that allow a student to grow with us and eventually attain direct entry into selected partner university programmes with exemptions, through the transfer of credits. This made University degree programmes available to all who wanted them.

Most of our courses are taught by our full-time faculty who demonstrate a commitment to our mission and core values. They are augmented by a team of adjunct faculty who are carefully screened, many of whom have been with us as effective lecturers for some time.

We believe that people and organisations succeed only through discipline and this is a value we believe in strongly. We focus on moulding our people and organisation through discipline so as to be ‘role models’ for our students. After all, our students learn better obliquely by observation than ‘rote-learning’. From our humble beginnings in 1993 when our founder started the College with just a $20,000 loan we had to overcome many obstacles to achieve our goals which has led to the founder and the organisation winning a number of awards and accolades and being the only private educational organisation in Singapore to have won this many. However, we believe it is more important for us to shape and guide students to become successful which would be our proudest achievement.

We recognise that first year full-time students need more guidance; therefore our class size policy is to limit the class to 24 and the tutorials to 8 in the critical first year of our Day College programmes. At the same time, we recognise that adult learners prefer a schedule allowing balance between work and classes. Our Evening College programmes are therefore designed with affordability and outside of class support. Our focus is to provide the best guidance to each and every student who enrols with us.
