Stamford American International School

A teacher’s perspective Name: Sapna Sunder Role: Elementary teacher

I’ve been teaching at Stamford American for five years, specialising in incorporating various practices such as Brain Yoga, which aids in maximising the power of students’ minds and boosts overall wellness of the body.

The school has adapted an enquiry-based curriculum and the school’s Student Support Department offers much-needed assistance to those who need it. The CCA programmes such as drama, art, music as well as the field studies and athletics programmes are really robust and enriching for students. I love that as teachers we have the freedom and support to integrate technology, arts and crafts, and role-play into the core curriculum.
