Thanks for your reply. The suggestion of putting my daughter in a preschool near home is a good one. I'll have to check out our options for that.skye wrote:Singapore American School has a very good reputation. Downside is it is far from the centre by Singapore standards (the island is small so may not be far by american standards), in Woodlands, and huge. It may be full for the year group you are looking at and have a waiting list, but enrolment was recently reopened to non-Americans so I guess some spots are freeing up. Only way to find out is call the admissions people.
Stamford American is nearer the centre and is brand new and not actually open for students until next month. Guess getting a spot there should be much easier.
Another option is to put your children in a pre-school near your home once you've decided where to live and move to "big school" a bit later. Loads of people move mid-year, and your children are so young I wouldn't pay out for a school before you get here and have a look.
Thanks for your message. We are considering the United World College too.movingtospore wrote:We are Canadian, and in the same boat as you - my children are 2 and 5. If we go ahead with this move it will be in the middle of the school year.
I don't know about the American school, but I contacted the Canadian International School and they still have spots for the coming school year. So the waitlists may not be that bad, perhaps because of the economic situation. We're also looking into United World College but may opt for the Canadian school in the end, we'll see.
Good luck.
Oh wow, eight kids is amazing. I did contact the school a few weeks ago. It looks promising, but I think I really want to wait until we get there before making a decision. thanks for your reply!Pentium wrote:Stamford American School has a small class size... about 8 kids at the moment. It's good for very young kids.
