孟母三迁 (Meng Mu San Qian)

Our Story

Our story

1996
A meeting of minds
Our founders, Kelly and Patrick, started out as classmates during their teens. They met many foreign students along the way and understood their homesickness as well as the struggles that every foreign student encounters.
2011
A spark
Post their university studies, our founders start assisting students who newly arrived in Singapore. This was mainly done piecemeal and to help the students find a community. During this time, the founders developed a systematic way to handling common issues.
2018
Planting a tree
With their experience in helping students and their knowledge of administrative processes in Singapore, our founders started BrightonMind.
2024-Now
Reaching for the sky
BrightonMind aims to help more students on their journey to study abroad in Singapore. We have expanded our team to include college admissions advisors and internship coaches so that our students can gain an edge in applying to elite universities and internships.

We were once students like you,

We found that studying in Singapore was a great adventure that tested and strengthened us, but we also bonded over the fact that it could be easier. Hence, we started BrightonMind so that more students could access the opportunities presented by studying abroad, especially in Singapore. Our dream is to become a leading and trustworthy agent that brings students to Singapore to study, so that they can maximise their potential in life.
