About Us
Where coffee education begins…
School of Coffee is one of the pioneer barista training schools in Singapore, established more than a decade ago in a polytechnic.

We are here to help you embark on your coffee dream
Coffee is a daily ritual for many, and as habitual creatures, we naturally seek consistency. At School of Coffee, our training focuses on mastering the fundamentals—ensuring every student understands the why behind each step and learns to brew each cup with care and consistency. We’ll teach you how to properly brew gourmet coffee like Café Latte and Cappuccino to look and taste as they should. At the same time, we recognize the deep-rooted local culture of drinks like Kopi and Teh, which many of us grew up with. That’s why we train our baristas to be skilled in both gourmet and local coffee. If you’re passionate about exploring Singapore’s rich coffee culture, School of Coffee is the right place for you.
