Singapore School for the Deaf

The Singapore School For The Deaf was established in 1963.

The school is staffed by teachers employed by the Singapore Association For The Deaf.

Total Communication was adopted in 1977 as a medium of communication and instruction in the classrooms. The effectiveness of Total Communication is evident as more students are passing their Primary School Leaving Examinations and are being promoted to Secondary Schools.
