Hello Singapore
What Is It Really Like Studying in an International School in Singapore?

Singapore has long been a favored host nation for expatriates from all over the world. As such, the country is also a thriving hub for international education. At present, no less than 64 international schools operate on the island, with collective enrollment at these institutions currently approximated at over 53,000 students per year. Many of these schools have received abundant recognition for academic excellence both locally and internationally, such as the multi-awarded Stamford American International School Singapore, which consistently ranks as one of the best international schools in Singapore.

Going beyond statistics and ratings, though, what is life actually like for students attending these schools? What do international students usually learn, and how are they taught? What significant encounters do they have both within and outside the classroom? The curious need only read on for a quick dive into the Singaporean international school experience.

High-Quality, Inclusive Education

International schools in Singapore offer holistic, comprehensive education programs that have been developed in line with global standards. In addition to a standard high school diploma, students have the chance to earn academic credentials under a specified international curriculum, such as the Advanced Placement (AP) program, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), or the Business and Technical Education Council (BTEC) diploma. Some schools even offer multiple curricula, allowing students to choose an educational pathway that’s well-aligned with their strengths and interests.

International schools tend to eschew the belief in a “one size fits all” approach to learning and work to satisfy the needs of students from diverse backgrounds. Hence, a wide array of available courses and the option to blend or customize curricula are frequent fixtures of international education in Singapore. Even within the classroom, learning is highly personalized and student-centered, as teachers are trained to adjust their instruction according to the interests and current knowledge of the students.

Many Opportunities for Language Learning

Singapore is a famously multilingual, multicultural society that has long recognized the cultural, professional, and social benefits of knowing how to speak more than one language. While English is generally the primary medium of instruction at international schools in the country, most will offer foreign language classes for students as early as the primary levels. Common foreign language offerings include Spanish and Mandarin, two of the most commonly spoken languages in the world, as well as specialized English instruction for students who don’t have English as their first language.

Some schools even offer students the option of enrolling under a bilingual program. The aim of long-term bilingual study is to open up more opportunities for students to practice the target language and hone their proficiency over an extended period of time. The best Singaporean international schools, for instance, offer a dual English/Mandarin program, allowing students to explore content in certain subject areas in both languages.

Wide Variety of Extracurricular Activities

Beyond foreign language lessons, international students in Singapore can sign up for an extensive selection of extracurricular classes and clubs. Commonly offered activities include sports, dance, music, visual art, theater, and many others, allowing students plenty of room to pursue their interests, develop their creativity, and explore a wide range of experiences.

International schools also offer their students many opportunities to have significant learning experiences beyond the comfortable and familiar boundaries of their school grounds. Community service and volunteering activities, symposia, and field trips are just a few examples of externally focused pursuits international students can engage in. These opportunities allow them to connect with larger society, form meaningful connections with new people, and nurture their curiosity about the world outside their classrooms.

Encourages a Global Perspective

International school communities in Singapore are clear reflections of the cultural plurality and inclusivity for which the country as a whole is well-known. Student, faculty, and staff populations comprise individuals from all over the world, often hailing from upwards of 50 countries at large schools. Many institutions also take pride in their precise lack of a dominant nationality and non-selective hiring and admissions policies. This diverse environment, in turn, fosters a generally warm and understanding school culture and promotes respect for others from all walks of life.

Extended interaction with others from a variety of cultural backgrounds also helps students develop a broad, well-rounded view of the world. Students at international schools are trained to think beyond their personal circumstances and to care about the concerns of the larger world. This can eventually translate into pursuing international employment and study opportunities, exploring humanitarian work, and numerous other ways of helping others that extend beyond one’s native region.

More and more parents are looking to international schools to provide their children with the highest possible quality of education. Singapore’s international schools make a compelling case for the many benefits this choice can bring to students, their families, and the societies of which they’re part. These schools have historically succeeded in producing well-informed, compassionate global citizens—just the sorts of people who are sorely needed in today’s increasingly interconnected world.

The BEST Singapore Tours and Things to Do in 2023

Singapore is one of the most exciting cities in Asia. This city has so much to offer, from its bustling downtown area to its beautiful gardens. If you're looking for something to do while visiting Singapore or if you live here and just want to explore more of the country, here are my top 20 things that every traveler should do in this amazing city!

Singapore Zoo

Singapore Zoo is a must-see for animal lovers, as it houses over 2,500 animals from 250 species. Located in Mandai, Singapore Zoo has been open since 1973 and is home to some of the world's rarest flora and fauna.

It is open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm (except Christmas Day), with free entry for children below 1'1 m tall if accompanied by an adult with admission paid; adults pay S$30 while children above 1'1 m pay S$20 per person (children under 4 years old get free admission).

Night Safari

The Night Safari is a must-see for anyone visiting Singapore. It's not only an amazing opportunity to see nocturnal animals, but you can also go on an exciting safari through the zoo after dark! The lights help guide your way through the park as you explore its many exhibits.

If you're lucky enough to be there during their special events (like Christmas or Chinese New Year), they have even more fun activities planned out for everyone!

Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay is a garden and tourist attraction located in Singapore. It has two gardens: The Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest.

The Flower Dome is an indoor garden with tropical plants and flowers, including an orchid collection called "A Symphony of Lights" which is open during special occasions like Chinese New Year.

The Cloud Forest has trees from all over the world, including Southeast Asia, South America, Australia and Africa.

Universal Studios Singapore

If you are looking for a fun day out, Universal Studios Singapore is the place to go. The park has been open since 2010 and has been visited by more than 8 million people in that time.

It takes about two hours to see all of the attractions at Universal Studios Singapore (US1). There are two parks: US1 and Hollywood Dream. If you want to do both parks in one day, we recommend starting at US1 because it opens earlier than Hollywood Dream and closes later (at 7pm).

If you plan on visiting both parks during your trip but don't have enough time during this visit, we suggest making another trip later on so that you can experience everything!

Tickets cost $59 SGD ($45 USD) per person for admission into either park; however if there are special events happening within either park then prices may change depending on what they offer during those times such as discounts or free entry passes etcetera…

Marina Barrage

Marina Barrage is a dam that was built to control the water level in the Marina Bay. It is one of the most popular places for people to walk, jog and cycle. There are lots of restaurants and cafes along this route as well as street performers who will entertain you with their music or dance routines.

Botanic Gardens and Cloud Forest

Botanic Gardens and Cloud Forest is a great attraction for nature lovers. It's a 5-minute walk from the Botanic Gardens MRT station, and is open daily except on public holidays.

Chinatown and Little India

Chinatown and Little India are both great places to visit. You can get a feel for the culture of Singapore, enjoy some great food options, and see some interesting sights. It's also a good place to buy souvenirs if you're looking for something with a little bit more flavor than what you might find elsewhere in Singapore.

For example: If you want something that looks like an elephant but tastes like chicken (and costs less than $1), try one of these delicious treats!

Sentosa Island (Universal Studios)

Sentosa Island is a popular tourist destination in Singapore. The main attraction on Sentosa Island is Universal Studios, which has a lot of rides, shows and activities for everyone to enjoy. There are also many great food options at Universal Studios including McDonald's and Pizza Hut!

You can also shop at the stores near by like Sephora or Forever 21 if you need something new for your vacation.

Merlion Park and Merlion Statue

Merlion Park is a popular tourist destination, and it's not hard to see why. Located on the waterfront in the heart of Singapore's financial district, Merlion Park is home to one of the city's most famous landmarks: a giant statue of a mermaid with her head poking out from behind an open book. This statue has become synonymous with Singapore as a whole, and many visitors make it their first stop when they arrive in town.

The Merlion statue was built in 1972 by sculptor Kan Chee Seng; although he didn't know what to call his creation until he saw someone refer to it as "merlion" (a portmanteau of "mermaid" and "Singapore"). It soon became known as such throughout Singaporean society--and now graces everything from postcards sold at souvenir shops across town to taxi cabs driving around town!

This is the place to go if you want to do a lot of things in one trip!

Singapore is a great place to visit because of the many things you can do. There are many activities to choose from and it's a good idea to book in advance if you want to visit the zoo or do a tour of the city.

Conclusion

I hope that you found this list of the best things to do in Singapore helpful. There are so many things to do and see here, it's hard to pick just one! However, I think if you want a good mix of nature, culture and adventure then Universal Studios is probably your best bet. Additionally, you may want to explore this cheap car rental service for your Singapore tour
