Your last sentence makes no sense. There are really only two choice for easy entrance (i.e. where your kids matriculation documents are readily accepted) into an Oz Uni - an Aussie curriculum school that offers a HSC/TEE/whatever state acronym style curriculum or maybe an IB program (but check with your state unis). There is no such thing as an "international curriculum" school and even if there is, it it won't be accepted by your state's TEAS (or whatever your state equivelant is to the WA TISC (https://www.tisc.edu.au/static/home.tisc) is)).raquelpola wrote:My husband is being relocated with his work to Singapore. We are Australians and have 2 kids, 4yrs old and 3yrs old. We have been to Singapore on holidays but have not had a look and see trip yet and have been looking for private schools for our kids. We have mixed feelings about Australian International School after reading reviews on the internet. We have always lived overseas but plan to eventually go back to Australia so an International curriculum school is preferable so then the kids can get into the Australian schools/universities if/when we go back. Any feedback will be much appreciated. TIA
I have been enquiring around and realise that UWC is one of the best schools in Singapore, next to Tanglin UK school and all the American schools.PNGMK wrote:I checked with my S/O. She says that the Australian IS runs at the bottom of the rankings in any of the math/science competitions they are in but Tanglin does much better. IS that a useful indicator?
(FYI - my USC S/O went to an Australian school up until grade 10 in the early 80's and is shocked at this, she believes that the Australian curriculum must have been softened up).
I'll admit it's about two years since my S/O class wiped the floor with AIS students but your data is from the school itself - I'm pleased to see the HSC marks thoughaussierulz wrote:I am an AIS parent and have to disagree with the posts on academic performance. Just go to the website and you can see the performance, which is top in class relative to the top private schools in Australian.

The new leadership and academic rigour and culture for the last 2 years has really changed the school for the better
