Singapore American School

Danielle Santori and Ryan Hickman, American and American-Canadian; Amelia (6) and Maren (4)

We have lived in Singapore for two years and both our children attend the Singapore American School (SAS). Amelia has attended the early learning centre and Kindergarten and she’s now in first grade.

When we first arrived in Singapore, we attended various parent workshops and on campus events at SAS to meet various families in similar situations.

We decided to enrol with SAS because the facilities were amazing and it was a great continuation of our daughter’s school that she started in the US.

It’s an international school and the children get a world-class education. The teachers are amazing and very intentional in their teaching.

They also have world-class resources and facilities, and a huge campus to explore, starting from the various playgrounds to the climbing walls to the libraries and music programmes.

Amelia has absolutely loved the music programme; she has been exposed to so many different instruments and genres of music. The campus music department is always buzzing with live performances, musicals or talent shows. She has started playing the ukulele and piano.

We love the SAS community. There’s an amazing community to build connections with the students, parents and teachers. My kids celebrate all different cultures – they are becoming global citizens.
