Iss international School
“This is our fourth year living in Singapore, and Grace has attended ISS since 2013. Grace is dyslexic and we’ve had terrific support from the school and the school counsellor. Some teachers have changed the way they teach to accommodate Grace’s learning style, so her dyslexia is no longer the problem it once was. The IB curriculum also suits her learning style. She has grown in both confidence and ability due to the strength of the Performing Arts Department and participates regularly in musical and dramatic productions, often in prominent roles.
The size of the school is also a great advantage. Your child will not be overwhelmed and will quickly get to know (and be known) by everybody, from classmates to head teachers. The teachers, support staff and management are very approachable. Should any problems arise, they have an excellent pastoral care system and matters will not be blown out of proportion, but dealt with using clever and imaginative ways. The PTA is also strong and plays an active role in the dayto-day support of the school. All parents are encouraged to come along for the meetings.
We did some online research for schools with dyslexia support before moving to Singapore and ISS stood out. We visited the school as well as others before we made our decision. The “family feel” of the campus and the learning support that is in place made the decision easy. We also heard good things about the school from people we knew in Singapore. I would recommend this school to other families. The support system is great and parents are kept well-informed. Come and see for yourself how happy and engaged the kids are!”
