Gim Choo Ng Email & Phone Number

Singapore

I started my career as an auditor. When her husband was posted to London in the 1980s, I gave up my career at Ernst and Young and became a housewife. Seeing how much my daughter enjoyed attending school in London, I decided to become a parent volunteer and discovered an education philosophy that differed greatly from Singapore’s at that time. Learning was joyful and not stressful, and teachers respected children. Motivated to pioneer a child-centred inquiry-based educational philosophy in Singapore, I set up EtonHouse in 1995. EtonHouse has since grown into a multi-brand global education group with over 120 schools in 11 countries, and over 20,000 students from infant care to high school.I have been fortunate to receive several awards for my work. These include Freedom of City of London (2009), Honorary Citizen of Suzhou Award (2011), Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award - Education (2019), Forbes’ Asia Power Businesswomen (2021), Her World Woman of the Year (2022) and Tatler's Asia’s Most Influential (2022).After handing the reins of EtonHouse to my son Ng Yi-Xian, I now devote my time to philanthropic efforts through the EtonHouse Community Fund, an IPC charity organisation, founded in 2005.
