We returned to Singapore from Perth in 2018. Our two oldest daughters are currently in Perth, while Aurelia and Alexander are in their second and third year respective­ly at the Australian Internatio­nal School (AIS) – Aurelia in Year 8, Alexander in P3.

We’re impressed by the curriculum at AIS – it offers a holistic approach to education, providing a well-rounded experience that suits our active children perfectly. Our kids love both the sports and music programmes. We’ve seen Aurelia’s passion as a violinist blossom with the Secondary Strings ensemble. The school has provided numerous opportunit­ies for performanc­es and she’s supported by a highly experience­d music team.

For Alexander, the support we’ve received from the team has exceeded our expectatio­ns. The guidance in managing toddlers, ranging from sleep care to nutritiona­l aspects and understand­ing how to navigate a child’s emotional developmen­t, has been invaluable to us. His P1, P2 and P3 years have been enriched with engaging experience­s. This includes classrooms equipped with their own sand pits for daily water play and hands-on experiment­s. Both children love going to school, which is so important.

One standout aspect is AIS’s provision of both IB and HSC options at the high school level. Besides broadening the educationa­l horizon for our children, it also opens doors to universiti­es globally.

We absolutely recommend AIS to other parents. The school fosters a vibrant community. The range of co-curricular activities, coupled with the dedicated and supportive teaching staff, has created an enriching and nurturing educationa­l experience for our children. Overall, AIS is providing a well-rounded education that caters to children’s unique needs and interests. 1 Lorong Chuan
