Sports and arts are introduced early to ensure an appreciation for endeavors outside of the purview of academics. The founders of the school believe an early introduction develops innate creativity within the child, which helps them look for novel solutions and answers.

The school’s steady focus has been on providing excellent, skill-based education at a moderate price. In the past 20 years, this brand of private schools has expanded to seven Asian countries, with 21 campuses. They plan to expand further and realize their goal of providing holistic education to students from diverse backgrounds.

The brand of schools believes in an early exposure to extra curriculars, arts and sports. Taking up leadership, performing arts, entrepreneurship creates a balanced learning environment and makes students into well-rounded individuals. While academics are important at every level, character building qualities like ethics, universal values, discipline and personality development are emphasised in the initial years. Later, academic achievements, entrepreneurship skills, leadership and key competencies for career progression are pushed to ensure that students choose the right career and subjects for themselves.

As students progress through the robust curriculum of the GIIS school, they learn to push their boundaries and continuously expand learning horizons. GIIS create self-aware, well-rounded future citizens who are prepared to handle anything that comes their way.

Alongside well-rounded growth, the school’s steady focus has been on providing excellent, skill-based education at a moderate price. The curriculum combines best of both eastern and western educational approaches and provides a dynamic education environment apt for children from varied cultures. GIIS aims to popularise the 9gems approach for holistic education to students from diverse backgrounds.

Rosemount presently has five learning levels which include Prep 1, 2, 3 and Grade 1 and Grade 2. Formerly known Rosemount Kindergarten, RIS is an International School that provides a child-centred and inquiry-based curriculum for the early and primary years.

The inquiry-centric academic philosophy motivates students to learn through genuine questioning, discovery, and communication by means of an integrated and interdisciplinary learning methodology. Their central premise of instilling a life-long love of learning in each student, is tested constantly with a developmental system where the teaching and comprehension is coupled with a stimulating and varied curriculum.

Local & International Teachers of Rosemount International School

Being a Prepatory School and Junior School, the class room environment is critical- and the classroom vibe of the Rosemount classroom is safe, secure, and patient with their understanding, yet is challenging and motivating enough to motivate the pupils to push themselves beyond their comfort limits.

The academic body at RIS is well-balanced between local and international teachers. Teachers are well-trained and experienced in Early childhood and Primary education. Their curriculum consists of English, mathematics, science, society and environment, creative arts, health, physical education and personal development. Mandarin is also offered to the children in addition to this. One of the initiative taken by RIS is to organise holiday programmes and after school activities for their students.

The activities coordinated vary from sports, drama, music, dance, art and science. These activities are conducted either in classrooms or learning spaces. They also have a special parent and child programme for the enrolled students from the age group 2 months to 2 years. While playgroup is an opportunity for the children to have new experiences and develop social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills; for parents, it is a great chance to meet families of other children, develop friendship, share experience and spend quality time with children.

The East Campus is the branch of the United World College, specifically the United World College South East Asia. It is said that the United World College (UWC) spirit is strong at the East Campus as with the Dover campus- with the UWC mission statement driving the educational practices at UWCSEA, with an optimistic sense of energy and a drive to take action.

United World College East Campus near Changi Airport

The campus is located near Tampines, a fast-developing northeastern hub of Singapore, near the Changi Airport. It is home to more than 2,550 students at the last count; with a faculty comprising lecturers and teaching assistants numbering around 249 educators; around 160 boarders within the boarding school life, of which 40 are United World College and UWCSEA National Committee scholars; with people from over 75 nations who speak at least 57 languages. The first batch of students to graduate with the IB Diploma were in 2014.

Although the East Campus is so far only a decade old, for more than 40 years now the UWCSEA has been offering a mission-driven and value-based international education to students, and is recognised as one of the leading international schools in the world. Of the UWCSEA International Baccalaureate cohort of 2019, of the 561 students that sat for the IB Diploma- there was an average IB Diploma score of 36.59 (far exceeding the worldwide IB average of 29.8), with an incredible 161 students receiving 40 or more points, and a 98.6 percent overall pass rate.

Yet despite an impressive record of outstanding academic achievements, UWCSEA does not practice a ‘waiting list’ approach to new student admissions. The UWCSEA curriculum is a concept-based curriculum. This means that from the K1 to Grade 12 stages, each subject is assigned standards which identify key concepts that form the basis for that subject; these standards are then applied at all grades and build in complexity through the Infant, Junior, Middle, and High School years, culminating in the IB Diploma years of Grade 11 and Grade 12.

Outstanding IB World School

Because the foundation of the UWCSEA courses are conceptual in nature, this is useful for students who are joining the school from other countries or varied education systems or upbringing backgrounds. The core concepts of each subject, for example Mathematics or the sciences, are fundamentally the same, and are therefore transferable within the UWCSEA framework.

The school does not compromise on academic as well as personal excellence outside the classroom. The curriculum aims to help build the specific conceptual understanding that is required to build a peaceful and sustainable future, as derived from UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development Goals, with the education goals developed in collaboration with their partners the Ellen Macarthur Foundation.

Unlike the Dover campus which was repurposed and redeveloped from  the Singapore International School that originally opened it’s doors in 1971, the East Campus is a purpose-built campus, recognised for it’s sustainable and universal design concepts.

United World College of South East Asia, East Campus is a CIS/WASC accredited school. Both the campuses have indoor as well as outdoor facilities for sports activities throughout the year. Students can participate in basketball, football, golf, cross country, gymnastics, cricket, swimming and many other developmental, recreational and competitive sports.

Korean School in Singapore

Situated in the area of Bukit Tinggi Road, just in between the Swiss Embassy and the British Club, the SKIS operates as a standard Korean school, albeit with governmental assurance from the Korean and the Singaporean governments.

This school located in  Clementi Arcade, offers an international education based on the Australian standard curriculum, from Preschool up to Year 10. The school’s belief is that along with a vigorous academic syllabus, young growing learners require a solid socio-emotional curriculum in order to achieve their fullest in an all-rounded, holistic education.

Australian Education in Singapore

The school creates a challenging environment where students create their own definition of success, embracing individuality and in fact, encouraging uniqueness. Lesson plans are adopted to match individual strengths, with the goal of redefining the notion of what students (and parents as well) consider to be success, by emphasising the child’s own strengths, talents, and natural abilities- while simultaneously cultivating a life-long love of learning.

Speaking of parents, the bespoke and inclusive manner that Integrated International School is run, means that the parents needs are heard, along with the students’. Families can book a tour with the school’s admissions team, and along with the admission process will be a family interview, if necessary. This is because the Integrated International School believes in educating the child, the family, and the community too- so for that reason they require the presence of both parents if possible, along with the prospective student, for the interview process.

This highly personalised approach is because this relatively new international school- founded in 2009 by leading Asian child expert Dr Vanessa von Auer- does not subscribe to the “one size fits all” learning philosophy, instead offering two experiential teaching/learning journeys: firstly the mainstream approach to indoctrinating the Australian curriculum, or secondly the mainstream approach with individualised support.

Individualised International School

Experiencing both approaches in tandem means that each student receives the diversified and individualised learning experience that each child deserves, celebrating each person’s uniqueness while providing the adequate support to excel. High teacher-to-student ratios are extremely helpful in this regard, allowing for that personal attention and empowering the children to respond independently as well.

In the primary school, the teacher-to-student ratio is 1:4, while in the secondary school the ratio is 1:6 which makes the classes small enough and flexible enough to interests and learning preferences of each student. The school’s Support Services can readily supply Individualised Education Plans (also known as IEPs) upon request; and also arrange for other learning support services such as behavioural counselling, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, and more.

Integrated International School supports each child in their learning curve and gives students the opportunity to emerge as great human beings. The school follows a vision to change the way success is defined in Singapore by providing a holistic education. It provides tailored mainstream educational experience with a global perspective and creates a supportive learning environment to suit individual student’s styles. It follows three core values – kindness and respect, community and redefining success.

Although the school’s facilities are not as vast as many international schools, it offers purpose-built facilities which have been designed keeping students in mind. It creates a warm and safe environment where students love to learn and grow. The school uses surrounding community spaces and has a beautiful green outdoor area. Indoor facilities include a one-of-a-kind multi-sensory ocean snoezelen room, an indoor jungle gym, and private suits for support staff.
