Singapore American School
This July, we’ll have been in Singapore for four years. This is the first year at Singapore American School for Holland, Andi and Jackson; we transferred from another international school that they attended for three years as SAS can accommodate all our children on one campus.
We also moved within walking distance to the school and many of the teachers and administration live in our neighbourhood. Knowing that these wonderful people work with and enjoy being neighbours with our children is so refreshing.
We’ve gotten to know many different people who work in different positions and all of them have exceeded every expectation. We can only assume that much of their positivity comes from feeling valued at their place of work, and we reap the benefits as we see how they truly care about our children as individuals and will go to great lengths to ensure they are seen and cared for in a way that is tailored to their needs.
The teachers really love their jobs and care so much about the children they educate. They feel supported and encouraged to progress their methods and resources through regular training throughout the year.
We have felt an overwhelming sense of community, which is important to us while we are so far away from home.
The after-school activities are incredible! Many of the programmes are at the school and eliminate the hassle of travelling. We especially love the option of Saturday morning baseball and dance classes, since we stay so close to school.
While the school will happily give you a tour, we highly recommend asking any SAS parent about their personal experience. For years, we had heard how wonderful the school was and how teachers would stay for over 15 years at a time. We couldn’t fully understand what that would mean for our children until we experienced it ourselves.
