Internatio­nal School

-

Once the boys started attending the school, the ‘wow’ moments kept coming!

Harvey is currently attending preschool at AIS and has been since last year. Finn attended preschool last year before moving up to Prep. Upon learning of our pending relocation to Singapore, I (Cheri) started to do some research on internatio­nal schools. I googled a lot, watched internatio­nal school videos and then toured a few schools. AIS stood out, firstly because it felt like “home” and felt right. Also, when we were touring the school, my husband and I had an “Oh my!” moment. The facilities were astounding.

Once we enrolled the boys and they started attending the school, the “wow” moments kept coming. The teachers also made them both feel welcomed and comfortabl­e, which helped to ease my mind.

We receive weekly updates on what the children have been up to in class, along with photos and videos. Sometimes, there’s an update about the whole class; at other times, it’s a personalis­ed message about your child. The attention they give our boys is really appreciate­d. The kids are exposed to a wonderful curriculum that stimulates their learning and they’re also encouraged to have free play and express themselves. I think that balance is important.

I would definitely recommend the preschool to other families. The kids are given so many opportunit­ies to do amazing things in their classes. Harvey has come home and told me all about baking, swimming lessons and PE classes with such pride. He can even sing a song in Chinese, courtesy of his weekly language class, which I think is incredible.
