education Facilities for Teenagers

Post by sheryn » Sat, 18 Aug 2007 9:08 am

Hi

I'd appreciate some info on high schools for expat children. My family is looking to move shortly, and I am not sure what schools aer available, what they cost, or which are recommended.

Any advice you could give would be appreciated

Thanks

Any of the International Schools have high school levels available: United World College(UWC), Singapore American School(SAS), Overseas Family School(OFS), Tanglin, Canadian School, German, Australian, etc. For one HS student you are looking at approx. $22,000 per year, not including books and uniform. All schools seem to have waiting lists at the moment. Look further in this forumn for other discussions related to schools and check each school's websites for more information. Welcome to Singapore and Good luck!

Cheers

SAS has the finest facilities, and I believe the best reputation. No surprise that it is full however. It is is very 'international' newcomers often falsely assume it is all American, the student body is very diverse.
