Which Schools Are Near Aurea on Beach Road?

Published 8 October 2026 · Figures as at October 2026

The Short Answer for Aurea

The developer lists more than a dozen schools within about ten minutes’ drive of Aurea. The closest are HWA International School and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, each about three minutes away; Farrer Park Primary, Hong Wen School and St. Margaret’s Primary are about six; and Dunman High School is about eight.

The Downtown Core is also home to several tertiary campuses, so the address suits families with children at every stage, from Primary One to university.

International Schools Near Aurea

HWA International School at its MSQ campus is about three minutes’ drive, and Invictus International School at Centrium Square about four, according to the developer. For families relocating to Singapore, international schools within a short drive make a city-centre home practical, and both are close enough for a parent to manage the morning run before work in the CBD.

Families comparing curricula, fees and waiting lists should speak to the schools directly, as admissions vary by year group.

Primary Schools Near Aurea

Farrer Park Primary School, Hong Wen School and St. Margaret’s Primary School are each about six minutes’ drive from Aurea, and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Kong Hwa School about seven. For Primary One registration, the Ministry of Education gives priority according to the distance between the home address and the school, using the boundaries within 1 km and between 1 km and 2 km.

Drive times are not distances, so parents should check the exact distance from 802 Beach Road to each school on OneMap, the government’s map service, before relying on a priority band. The registration rules are set by MOE and can change from year to year.

Secondary Schools, Arts Schools and Universities Near Aurea

Dunman High School is about eight minutes’ drive. The School of the Arts is about five minutes away.

For older students, the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts at Bencoolen is about three minutes’ drive, and LASALLE College of the Arts and Singapore Management University about four. With Nicoll Highway station on the Circle Line about five minutes’ walk away, a student can reach these campuses quickly without a car.

Getting to School From Aurea

Families arriving from overseas often start with the international schools and move to local schools later, or the reverse, so a home within reach of both kinds of school keeps the options open as children move through the system.

University students and young adults are the other half of the picture. With Singapore Management University, LASALLE and NAFA all within a few minutes, a Prestige 2-bedroom home can serve as a city base for a student and later as a first home, which is one reason families often look at more than one layout.

Most school journeys from Aurea will be short drives, and the Circle Line from Nicoll Highway, about five minutes’ walk, gives older children an independent route to campuses across the city. Lavender station on the East-West Line, about nine minutes’ walk, adds a second line. For families with a younger child, the drive times the developer publishes are the better guide to the morning routine.

When choosing a home with schooling in mind, it can help to decide early which school matters most and then confirm the distance from 802 Beach Road on OneMap, since a home’s address does not change with the stack or level. The 3-bedroom C1 and the 4-bedroom Signature homes on the floor plan page are the layouts most families start with.

Family Life at Aurea

Inside the development, the Resort level on Level 3 has a Kids’ Splash pool and a Kids’ Corner, and the 25-metre Grand Infinity pool suits swimming lessons and laps. The 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes give a family the space it needs, with private lifts in the 4-bedroom Signature homes.

The schools near Beach Road guide lists every school with its time, the amenities page covers the facilities, and the floor plans show the family-sized layouts.
