What are the schools in Singapore like?

"The Singapore American School is fantastic. The school is very large so be prepared if you are coming from a smaller school environment. Although and "American" school, there are students from all over the world attending which adds a celebrated multi-cultural flair. To maximize your own experience, (as well as your child's), get involved," explained one expat living in Woodlands, Singapore.

"This is a small school (about 400 students) without the extra bells and whistles (no swimming pool, no tennis court.) But the teachers are genuinely fantastic. I believe 95 percent of them are American. And they take the extra mile to get to know each of their students. It's a great place to plug in. You can't really get lost in the place. And I feel it's truly international. Kids here are kind. I see High Schoolers give high-5's to Elementary kids because they have a buddy system. Kids say hello when they pass by you. Teachers are friendly. It's a great culture to bring up kids with good character with a healthy balance of academic," said one parent with children at International Community School in Clementi which is located in the West side of Singapore.
