" Education in the past has been good at making kids fit the mold: the IB mold, the AP mold, the IGCSE mold. The mold often says what is possible and what is not. Singapore American School, however, is giving students possibilities like never before with personalized learning, new course offerings, and passion pathways. Students at SAS find their true selves rather than letting a system define who they can become and how far they can go. "

" I have 3 children and they all attend SAS. This is our first year experiencing Middle School. We had positive experiences in elementary and wanted the same in middle school. Unfortunately, we've not received it. I've dropped my daughter off at 7:30 so that she can receive extra help by her teacher only to be told that he is too busy planning his lessons. When she tries to see him at lunch, she is told it's not the right time, as 'teachers need their time too'. After school, the teachers leave before 3:30. The school is considered to be standards-based but in another class, my daughter didn't pass an assignment because she forgot to bold her words. This is how they're graded? We know that this isn't everyone's experience. There are other teachers in same block who we hear offer extra time, resources, etc. It's unfair that two families pay the same tuition and receive opposite levels of care. Last minute lesson prep? No time for extra help? Almost zero resources for students? Even less communication with parents? I know that SAS makes extraordinary care and solid teaching instruction possible. We hear about it from other parents in our block. But with a 50% chance that our next 2 may not get it, and counselors refusing to see the reality of some of their classrooms, we've started to look elsewhere. We've spoken about this with the counsellors but are told that each teacher has their own styles and that students should learn to adapt. We certainly have taught our children to find benefits in all. But the lack of accountability is just not right. "

" My family moved to Singapore the summer before my senior year of high school from our home just outside Houston, Texas. I came kicking and screaming, begging to go back home to finish my senior year. After a couple months I was wishing time would slow down because I was having so much fun.
World-class teachers pushed me outside of my comfort zone and expected more of me than had ever been expected. The list of extracurriculars available was extensive and I even got to help start a breakdance club, which led to a variety of opportunities for years to come. I did a school trip to Vienna and Budapest! Seriously, where else can you take a cultural studies trip to Europe during Chinese New Year?!
My daughter now attends SAS and is in the preschool and I couldn't be happier. The teachers, curriculum, and atmosphere needs to be seen and experienced to be understood and appreciated. She loves it and comes excited about school.
Since my own time as a student I have hoped for the time I would get to come back and can't believe that I'm back in Singapore and that my daughter is now a student.
If you have the opportunity to have your kids attend SAS, do it. The experience will benefit them for the rest of their life. "

" We've been very happy at SAS for the last seven years. Excellent facilities, engaged faculty, and high expectations and support for students. There is a culture of continuous improvement which has been very evident over the last 4 years. We really appreciate SAS. "
