which primary school is best - Avondale, iis or aiss?

Post by Trinket » Sun, 03 Jun 2012 12:46 pm

Just hoping if anyone can give some advise on which primary schools are currently best for an Aussie 6 yo. I have read some older bad reviews about aiss, mixed about avondale and nothing about iis....i am confused..Open to all options...I would like a caring friendly environment.

Also wondering if the areas around the schools are where most of the Aussie expats live?

I will really appreciate all help....

Cheers

Don't even try to make an evaluation based on views you see over various online forums. Every International School in Singapore has its pros and cons, and the only way you will know what is suitable for your child is by visiting the various schools and asking the questions that are important to you.

I've been at functions where parents of one school are raving about how good it is, only to meet someone else at the same fucntion and have them say how they are really unhappy with the same school. It's individual choice.

Hi Trinket.

I posted this a couple of months ago. Still happy with our decision.

We live in Bishan, but as mentioned earlier, everyone lives everywhere. A lot of people use the school bus service which negates the need to live near the school.
