Sir Manasseh Meyer
International School
We came to Singapore a year ago, and all of our kids currently attend a full day at SMMIS. Shaked just started a month ago and she is very happy to join her older siblings there.
We heard about the school through the Jewish community. The school’s team helped us throughout the initial process before we even got to Singapore. When we arrived, we arranged a meeting and did a preliminary tour. We were very impressed with the structure of the school and the warm welcome of the staff. We didn’t feel the need to visit other campuses after that. We felt it was home, and we followed our hearts.
The school accommodates kids from different countries and encourages diversity, exposing students to different cultures. In addition, a Jewish education is offered, which is very relevant for us. From the moment you enter SMMIS, you can feel a sense of belonging. The school is fully equipped with the latest technology and maintains a high academic level. Everything is accessible and convenient for students. The students also get personal attention regardless of their age.
As an Orthodox Jewish family, it was very important for us to emphasise our Jewish culture, and this is something that we’re able to do at the school. Our children attend prayers in the morning, though others may choose mindfulness meditation to start their day. We’ve opted for Hebrew language lessons that ensure that our children maintain their language and culture; but there is also Mandarin and a World Religions curriculum, reflecting the diversity of the school community. In addition, there is a kosher dining room where fresh, tasty and nutritious food is served each day. What is so amazing about the school is that it celebrates your culture, whatever that might be.
At the bottom line, you can see it in the kids. If they’re happy and excited, it demonstrates how much they enjoy the school.
