St. Joseph’s Institutio­n Internatio­nal

-

We’ve been in Singapore for nine years and all our children are attending SJII. Our eldest started back in January 2015. We learnt about the school from other parents; they were very positive about the school, both for its internatio­nal curriculum as well as the pastoral care. We didn’t visit many schools as we were really enthusiast­ic after our visit at SJII. For us, it was the perfect mix between a strong focus on academics as well as values, plus an internatio­nal mindset with kids from all around the world. Being a Catholic school was definitely a plus for our family, with the possibilit­y to have Catechism classes.

We also appreciate the smaller size of the school, which creates a family-friendly environmen­t. With only three to four classes per grade, the kids know everyone in their grade level and beyond. It creates a very nurturing environmen­t for them. They also have many opportunit­ies to meet the other students during school trips, sports days and different types of activities on campus during House competitio­ns.

We absolutely recommend SJII to others, in particular for the Virtues Project, which is core to the school. We see our kids grow with these virtues every day and it definitely helps them build their character. Also, we appreciate the balance between pursuing academic excellence and allowing them to enjoy their childhood. The school supports each student’s needs. The sports and extracurri­cular choices are also extremely broad – our kids even complain that they can’t do more of the available activities, but instead have to choose between the swim team, football team, gymnastics and tennis and more!
