Education
is the best thing that you can give
to a child and it becomes more important
for expatriates to provide education
for their children. Singapore is a
country with residents of many nationalities
who remain with their families and
there are many international schools
established to choose from.
These international schools impart
the same system of education to
the child which is followed in the
country of origin of parents. This
helps to imbibing the culture and
traditions of the country of origin
and also makes the child feel comfortable
in the middle of the people of his
own nationality.
It becomes very important to check
the schools before taking the final
decision. It is necessary to verify
the curriculum followed, the subjects
taught, the school strength in relation
to the number of students and teachers,
the emphasis on physical education
and sport facilities provided, the
number of languages taught in schools
Admission trial:
Most schools are registered with
the Ministry of Education (MOE),
and are allowed to follow the curriculum
of their country of origin. From
the age of 5 years, a typical student
goes to 2 years of kindergarten,
6 years of primary school, 4 or
5 years of high school, 2 years
of Junior College leading to the
GCE A-Levels, and 3 or 4 years of
university education.
After applying to the school of
their choice, students must undergo
a placement test, and then the school
will issue a letter of acceptance
(LOA). The LOA is valid for two
weeks after it is issued, during
which the admission formalities
should be completed. A donation
of $ 500 S must be done to fund
education. It will be an additional
advantage if the student knows the
English language.
Fees Structure:
Grades below S = $ 4,600 to S $
14,000
Classes above S = $ 6,000 to S $
18,000
