Singapore American School
Our daughter has been able to share her thoughts and ideas freely
Our younger daughter Vedanshi has been in preschool for six months now. Our son joined the school in Grade 3. After reading tonnes of reviews online, talking to friends in Singapore and finding out about the experiences of existing SAS parents, we shortlisted this preschool. The inquiry-based, conceptdriven curriculum and Reggio Emiliainspired approach also really caught our attention. The preschool is designed to foster curiosity and exploration among young learners and enable them to follow their interests. Each child’s personality is respected and treated as unique, something that quelled the initial anxieties we had about cross-cultural differences. The school’s approach has enabled Vedanshi to play, wonder and learn what interests her the most.
Our experience so far has been exceedingly satisfying, and our preschooler looks forward to attending school every morning. The staff, from the reception to class teachers, are exceptional and provide personalised care and learning. Ms Yukako, Ms Lynsey, and the instructional assistants, just to name a few, have all been exceptional! The emphasis on exploring each child’s interests through inquiry, languages such as Chinese, and motor skill development through “move and groove” has provided a plethora of possibilities for Vedanshi. We were particularly impressed with the school’s seemingly endless resources, including experienced counsellors, an impressive library specially curated for preschoolers, learning hubs and an expansive outdoor field.
SAS has been a positive environment where our daughter has been able to share her thoughts and ideas freely and have the confidence to develop her own personality. The diverse cultural backgrounds in the school have enabled her to develop an international outlook, too.
