Balestier Students’ Hostel (BSH) was established in 1976 to meet the specific needs of foreign students intending to study in Singapore. Over the years, we have gained considerable experience taking care of the education and welfare of foreign students from countries in the region.

BSH is a 4-storey building situated at the junction of Boon Teck Road and Balestier Road. It was founded more than 30 years ago and is registered with the Government of Singapore. The Hostel is very spacious, well-equipped and properly managed to cater to the needs of foreign students from countries in this region.

Balestier Students’ Hostel is within walking distance of a wide variety of shopping malls, food outlets, hospitals and other service centres. It is also easily accessible to many of the Primary and Secondary Schools in the area. Moreover, public transport and banking facilities are also available for the convenience of the hostelites.

Apart from attending schools during weekdays, the students have to attend tuition classes conducted by the Hostel. They usually attend classes in their weaker subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science and Mandarin. The tuition lessons are conducted by qualified and experienced teachers (former senior teachers from the Ministry of Education). After dinner, between 7.00pm and 9.00pm, the students have to do homework and self-study. Life in the Hostel develops good discipline and habits.

Our Mission
