What are the schools in Singapore like?

"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," commented one expat when asked about International Community School in Clementi which is located in the West side of Singapore.

"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 in Woodlands, Singapore with kids at Singapore American School.
