Expat Living (Singapore)

EtonHouse Internatio­nal School

-

We have lived in Singapore for 11 years. Poppy has been attending EtonHouse Broadrick since February 2022, Kai since August 2022.

The school has a lovely “at home” feel while offering a vast and green outdoor area for the kids to play and explore. Classes are sometimes taken outside, which our son enjoys in particular .

Another big pull for us was the Japanese language programme, which the school offers as part of the Mainstream Learning curriculum. With familial ties to Japan, we wanted to continue to support their Japanese learning in terms of language and its cultural nuances too. Our kids really enjoy their time in this class.

The children are allocated into one of four houses, a system that emphasises the sense of belonging for the children while integratin­g them across all ages and year groups.

EtonHouse Broadrick draws from the multicultu­ral background of the school community and reinforces a sense of cross cultural identity and belonging, which for us is hugely important. We wanted our children to feel part of a strong community that celebrates diversity.

The school welcomes parent participat­ion in all aspects, from joining the PSA to volunteeri­ng and becoming mystery readers in class.

Living across from the school, we love that our children are able to walk with their friends to school. From the initial meeting and tour of the grounds, it’s clear that this school was right for us.
