Hi
we are just a week old in Singapore.We shifted from Hk considering the highly acclaimed Singapore education system.
We are Indians and was looking forward to putting our 4yr old son into GIIS.But now we are not that sure because we have been hearing more negative than positive comments.

I am intrigued by the IB system.sorry to say i have no idea what is...kindly enlighten me anyone??

what other good International Schools can i look into?
Yes,I saw a list of names.
OFS,Raffles,UWC......but how do i choose...like all parents we dont want something that drives teh kids crazy with academics but not something that is all fun too.

(Btn i am talking about the classes from primary or secondary.As of now since he is in K1 its okay)

Thanks a lot for all the help and advice shared.Really appreciate it.
