Which Schools Are Near The Island Residence?

Published 9 October 2026 · Figures as at October 2026

The Short Answer for The Island Residence

The nearest primary school to The Island Residence is Blangah Rise Primary School, about 1.4 km in a straight line from the site pin on Keppel Island. Radin Mas Primary School is about 1.9 km away and CHIJ (Kellock) about 2.3 km, with Gan Eng Seng Primary, Bukit Merah Secondary and Zhangde Primary between 2.4 and 2.8 km.

All the distances in this article are straight-line measurements from the site pin, using OneMap coordinates from the Singapore Land Authority, and they are a guide until the development receives its address.

Primary Schools Near The Island Residence

Blangah Rise Primary School stands on Telok Blangah Heights, above the northern shore of Keppel Bay. Radin Mas Primary School is on Bukit Purmei Avenue, and CHIJ (Kellock), a girls’ school, on Bukit Teresa Road; both lie east of Mount Faber.

Further north, Gan Eng Seng Primary School on Redhill Close and Zhangde Primary School on Jalan Membina are about 2.5 and 2.8 km away, and Queenstown Primary School on Margaret Drive about 3.6 km. The schools guide lists every school in a single table.

Secondary Schools Near The Island Residence

Bukit Merah Secondary School on Lengkok Bahru is about 2.4 km from the site pin, and Crescent Girls’ School on Tanglin Road about 3.4 km. With the Circle Line now a complete loop, students can reach schools across the southern and central areas from HarbourFront or Telok Blangah station on a single line.

Older students often travel further for a particular programme, so a home near a rail interchange keeps more options open than a short walk to one school.

How Primary One Distances Work at The Island Residence

For Primary One registration, the Ministry of Education measures the distance from a child’s registered home address to the school, using OneMap. The distance bands used in the ballot are within 1 km and between 1 km and 2 km, measured from the address point of the home.

The development will receive its address in due course, and the Sales Concierge can share it once the developer releases it. Until then, the straight-line figures in this article, measured from the site pin, are the best guide, and families with a particular school in mind can confirm the figure on OneMap once the address is known.

Getting to School From The Island Residence

Most school journeys from Keppel Island will begin over Keppel Bay Bridge, either by car to Telok Blangah and Bukit Merah or on foot and by rail from HarbourFront. The Circle Line and the North East Line from HarbourFront reach a wide area of the city without a change.

The location page maps the stations and the pin, and the floor plans, published on release, will show which layouts suit a growing family. Joining the preview list brings each document on the day it is released.

Families and Space at The Island Residence

For families, the layouts will matter as much as the schools. The developer will release the unit mix and floor plans at launch, and the floor plan page will show each type with its area, so a family can match the number of bedrooms and the size of the living space to its needs.

Beyond school, the setting itself is part of a child’s day: the boardwalks along Keppel Bay, the Labrador Nature Reserve and the Southern Ridges are all within about a kilometre and a half of the site pin, and Sentosa is across the water. The amenities page lists the distances.

Families who register now can state a preferred home size on the form, and the Sales Concierge matches it to the layouts as soon as they are published.

Older children and students have further options along the rail lines. The Circle Line from HarbourFront and Telok Blangah reaches the one-north and Kent Ridge areas to the west and the city to the east, and the North East Line runs north through Dhoby Ghaut. For international and specialist schools, which draw students from across the island, a home near an interchange is often more useful than one beside a single campus.
