ICS seems like a very religious school?
It depends what you are comparing it to.
ICS is going to be far more religious than any church affiliated local schools in Singapore — for example, my daughter went through St. Margaret’s & St. Nick’s, and there was practically no religious teaching whatsoever.
However, compared to many parochial schools in the U.S. (which I have first hand experience with), it’s not going to be as heavy or emphasized.
A lot of secular folks see religions as cults and think every church is out for money and/or not safe for kids. It’s unfortunate that a few rotten apples can create these widespread perceptions. But, that is how media works these days.
