Singapore International School

mom2006

I just pick up this old thread. Its nice that someone who is studying there shares what he/she experienced...

I admire SIS because I believe it can strike a good balance between academic training, discipline and non-conventional style of schooling. Can anyone advise :

1. I want my son to join PY2. He will finish K3 in a kindergarten's Eng-PTH stream this year. The chance of such is high ?

2. I visited Renaissance College a month ago. Saw that students in P1 were writing alphabets up to 60, (while local kindergartens are doing simple addition already). How is the academic level of SIS when compare to RC?

3. Again in RC, I saw students were pretty relaxing in classroom. They were allowed to lie on the floor when reading books. An extreme from conventional local schools of course. How about SIS ? At the middle of the 2 extremes or purely international ?

Hope to hear some advices !
