Founded in 2004, LKYSPP was established with the vision of advancing knowledge and leadership in public policy through education, research, and outreach. It is the first institution named after Singapore's founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Over the past 20 years, it has grown to become a leading institution in the field, attracting students, scholars, and policymakers from around the world.

At the time of its founding, LKYSPP offered only the Master in Public Policy (MPP) programme. Today, it offers four distinct master's programmes – MPP, Master in Public Administration, Master in Public Administration and Management, and Master in International Affairs – alongside a PhD programme.

Since its inception, the School has grown from fewer than 50 students to welcoming more than 200 new students each year. More than 4,000 students from nearly 100 economies around the world have walked through its doors, benefitting from its master's and PhD programmes, moving on to make significant contributions and impact in politics, economics and societies.

Beyond its postgraduate programmes, LKYSPP’s executive education arm has developed more than 1,000 programs and delivered them to over 32,000 more participants from the public, corporate and non-profit sectors.
