Ms. Ng Gim Choo – Group Managing Director

Ms. Ng Gim Choo founded EtonHouse in 1995 with the first school at Broadrick. Her motivation to enter the education sector stemmed from her experience in the UK where her children went to pre-schools. She was impressed with the environment of early childhood education in the UK, where her children loved attending school as the emphasis was on play as the central mode of learning. It was the intention to replicate this environment for the children of Singapore that led to the opening of the first school and thereafter expanding EtonHouse schools in Asia.

Prior to setting up EtonHouse, Ms. Ng was an audit manager with Ernst & Young and thereafter a partner in an international audit firm. She has also participated and contributed to several international forums. She was a speaker at the 5th Singapore International Foundation Overseas Conference in Bangkok, as well as a member of the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) Accreditation Team to accredit international schools.

Her professional qualifications include a Master's in Education Management, qualifications in early childhood and professional development experiences in International Baccalaureate and Reggio Emilia settings.

Mr. Ng Hark Seng – Director

Mr. Ng Hark Seng oversees the corporate governance, financial matters and strategy formulation at EtonHouse. He has previously worked in various senior management positions in several multi-national corporations in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom before joining EtonHouse in 2004. His business acumen and experience in finance and administration has been instrumental in steering EtonHouse to its current position of leadership in the education sector. Prior to Etonhouse, he was working as the Senior Vice President with Singapore Technologies Group.

He is a Fellow of the Association of Certified Accounts (FCCA), UK 1974 and an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ACIS), UK. It was his stint in the UK with his family where he, along with his wife, discovered the significance of quality early childhood education in shaping a child's personality. It was this experience that led to the inception of EtonHouse in Singapore.

With professional qualifications in Business Administration, Mr. Ng started his career in the civil services, and then went on to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), in Singapore.
