International
Community School (Singapore)
We’ve been in Singapore for four years. Osazee is currently in Grade 8 and Ivie in Grade 4 at International Community School. They will move to Grade 9 and Grade 5 respectively at the start of the school year in August 2022.
Our experience has been rewarding and good so far. The teachers are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, approachable and always interested in both the academics and the wellbeing of the children. They know all the kids at ICS individually and ensure that each child receives the right level of engagement and support. There’s continuous communication about the kids’ learning and overall progress, and there’s always someone to answer any enquiries we may have.
ICS has relatively small class sizes; we’ve found this to be a great advantage to our kids because they benefit from individualised learning and appropriate attention from their teachers and the school community.
Ivie is enrolled in the Mandarin language class while Osazee has taken language classes in both Mandarin and Spanish. The school’s rich diverse culture means that our kids have close friends from the US, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, Europe and South America.
There are very good facilities to cater to sports and other social engagements. Our kids really love the ECA programme, especially basketball and soccer, and they get a lot of pleasure from after-school sports.
Parents are given the opportunity to be involved in various school activities and get to know each other, which has helped our family transition smoothly when we moved to Singapore. We highly recommend ICS to families who are looking for a school with committed excellent teachers in a rigorous academic environment and with good Christian values.
