We provide guardianship services

for your child studying Overseas.

We are parents too, and as guardians, we want your children to have every opportunity to be safe and successful as you send them here to study.

iPGA is an international professional guardianship agency that provides guardianship services to your school-going children between the ages of 10 to 18 years old, who have been sent to Singapore to study.

Why you should choose iPGA.

As parents around the world can attest, sending a child overseas for education is no small decision to take. This overseas experience for the child can last between two to more years of being away from home. Yet for many varied reasons, purposes and circumstance, parents are having to make this important and difficult choice – sometimes, more than once in each family!

Maturing

We earnestly advocate mental and emotional development of each child in our care.

Distinctive

We believe in cultivating individual character with distinct mental and moral qualities.

Valuable

We care for and protect the children and youth in our charge.

A Letter From Our Founders

Dear Parent,

Like most of you, I’m also a parent of my children who wants the best for them for now and when they grow up. We all want them them to grow up to achieve great things for humanity with positive characters. It’s inevitable in that process, they need an adult figure to walk with and guide them through.

This IPGA venture is started with that purpose in mind! That for the many thousands of foreign students studying in Singapore, how can we serve them to provide proper adult guidance while their parents are not with them. This is especially true at this critical period of their lives just before they become adults.

Please join me and my team in this journey of nurturing and mentoring the next generation of resilient, respectful and responsible adults for leadership in the communities and societies.

Sincerely,

David Ang
