I've been offered a position in Singapore and if I take it, will be moving with my wife and two sons. I was wondering whether anybody has any insights into how good the schools in Singapore are?

Being a former colony, I'd imagine that it is easier to find English schools there than in some other places, but are my options going to be limited to international schools?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hi Phil

As Bradley rightly says, the standard of education in Singapore is good and there shouldn't be as many issues adapting as there may be in other Asian countries.

We have a free, downloadable Singapore Schools Guide which gives a comprehensive view of education in the city state, as well as what to expect as an expat parent.

Hope this helps too.

Good luck!

Hi there,

You should be able to find all the information you need on our Education and Schools in Singapore page.

Singapore has a high standard of education, with a wide variety of publuic, private and international schools. English is widely spoken in the city-state, so language barriers should not be an issue. I suggest consulting our International Schools in Singapore database for a comprehensive list of international schools in the region.

All the best for your new life in Singapore!

Regards,
Bradley

Hi, I have a daughter who is a teen and goes to 8th grade here in US. My husband recently took an offer to move to Singapore. As I was checking the school...there were school where they offered second languages such as Hindi, French or Tamil. My daughter has not learnt any of these languages. My question is are there any school system where she does not have to take any second language. Please advice.
