When we asked about the schools in Singapore, they said...

"Singapore is home to some of the best international and bilingual schools in the world. One of the most renowned international schools is the Singapore American School (SAS), which offers a comprehensive American-style education to students from pre-K to grade 12. SAS is known for its rigorous academic standards, diverse student body, and commitment to developing global citizens. Another top international school is the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA), which offers an international curriculum to students from pre-K to grade 12. UWCSEA is renowned for its commitment to developing global citizens through its emphasis on service learning, outdoor education, and experiential learning. For bilingual education, the Canadian International School (CIS) is one of the top choices. CIS offers a bilingual education in English and Mandarin, with a focus on developing global citizens through its emphasis on inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving," explained one expat living in Singapore.

"Parents describe this school as the best kept secret in Singapore. Many families do not take it in on their school rounds as they think it is German (the name implies this of course). In fact, the english speaking half is bigger I believe. It is an IB World School, good, happy teachers, parental board of governors - visit and see . My two children love it," said one parent with children at The German European School Singapore in Singapore.
