Future Academy

Future Academy is a MOE-registered tuition centre in Singapore founded in 2015 by Ms. Yvonne Chen, a NIE-trained former teacher at Raffles Girls’ School.

Ms Chen currently runs the academy alongside Mr Lau Hock Soon, former Head of the Mathematics Department at Hwa Chong Institution.

With Walk With Me, we hope to invite all of you on a journey to support our beneficiaries, and uncover the many stories of lives well-lived, that our patients have taught us along the way.

Walk with us to show your support for terminally ill patients and their caregivers. The walk is a simple one suited for people of different physical abilities, including children, seniors and those on wheelchairs.
