Agreed. You have to decide if you want your child to study IGCSE / IB / National exams in future. Other schools include overseas family school , united world college, American school and etc.Kells wrote:My 5 year old son and 3 yr old daughter started at AIS this January and we have been very happy. Choosing a school is a personal decision and will depend on your family's values and your children's strength's/weaknesses, etc. I would highly recommend having a look at a couple of schools if you get a chance to visit Singapore before actually move.
I know that AIS is opening up its new junior school building tin increase capacity in term 3 so their waiting list may not be as bad as some of the others International Schools.
Feel free to ask me any other specific questions you have about AIS, as i know how stressful it is to move a family especially with children just starting school
Yes, Our neighbour here in Sydney is a local primary school teacher and she said the same that the students are way ahead, even the one's that didn't attend the AIS.Leemmo wrote: From what I gather any child going the other way (back to Aus.) will be ahead of their class.
Good luck!
you will have a problem. The AIS like for the kids to do yr 11 and 12 together. You can't just come in and do yr 12. Your son might have to repeat Year 11. If you put him in another school he will have to wait until August to start 2 years of the IB.Garth wrote:Hi , My son is 16 and I may be moving up next year. Everyone seems to have very young children and I heard senior school was not up to scratch. We are from Queensland.
So a year or so on, how are things working out at Chatsworth East for you and your sons. I am considering putting my kids in, so would really appreciate any feedback.

Madly packing boxes for longterm storage, and culling big time! Looking forward to a quiet Chardonnay on the terrace once we arrive!
