What are the schools in Singapore like?

"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," said one expat in with children at .

"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," remarked one parent with kids at International Community School in Clementi which is located in the West side of Singapore.
