International Indian schools

[desimom]

Thanks for replying....Do you know when the admission process starts for Indian International Schools? I know their term starts in April. Are their any written tests for 2nd and 4th standard admissions?

How are the teachers? Facilities? Activities?

Thanks a lot for any input.

Hi Desimom,
Definitely admission tests will be carried out from Class 1 onwards.Pls refer to the school websites for specific details.
If you need any specific inputs regarding NPS Intl school,please go through the posts in the MBA forum.

Before saying anything related to Indian schools let me say that your nearest govt (MOE) school is a very worthy choice to consider. They may take time to respond so write a letter, make a visit to check out the place and wait.

For Indian schools since you are in Jurong area there is a new contender in the space which is Yuvabharati singapore. I have only heard about this from Tabla magazine. http://www.yuvabharathi.sg/contact.php (If you know more please post. Seems more affordable)

There are only 4 CBSE affiliated schools as shown on CBSE web site:

1. GIIS campus at 1 Mei Chen Road (Queenstown)
2. GIIS EC campus at 82 Cheviot Hill (East Campus)
3. NPS - at Chai Chee Lane
4. Yuvabharati at Hu Ching Road, Jurong West (new)

If you choose ICSE you also have:
5. DPS International (Aroozoo Avenue)

(GIIS has one more campus in Baliestier Road for more than a year but seems to be not CBSE approved).

It will be great if somebody can do a campus by campus survey or comparison about fees, bus charge, extra costs/books, class size, teaching quality (or own impressions).
