Why choose an international school in Singapore?
Singapore is a small country, so newcomers may not realize how close and connected they will be when they live in Singapore. You can take a forty-five-minute drive and go from one end of Singapore to the other. Here are some popular neighborhoods: Orchard Road, Harbour Front, East Coast, Bukit Timah, and Jurong. You can select a neighborhood that feels right for you and your family, yet still choose a school that is located in a completely different area. The small size of the island coupled with excellent public transportation allows you to fit together a lifestyle that works best for your family in all aspects.
How to choose the best international schools in Singapore?
Choosing an international school in Singapore can be challenging. Some factors to consider include your child's happiness, the curriculum, and the campus facilities.
