Questions about schools in Singapore

Hi svm,

You have two choices when you come to SG education, local schools or Indian International schools. Many indian international schools have CBSE syllabus and the academic year is the same as in india. mid year admissions are also accepted.

For local schools, you will have to approach the local school where you want admission or MOE for find a school nearest to your place. They too accept mid year admission. You can find the syllabus in the MOE website for reference. You will have an option for tamil in most of the schools for mother tongue, and hindi is available is some schools, other mother tongue languages can be opted and classes are arranged separately on weekends.

For carnatic music and barathanatyam classes many are available all over SG, and so are badminton classes. they are available in most community centers and sports council halls.

Hope this helps. All the Best:thumbsup

 

Hi Rekha,

Generally, I would say no, there is not much of it in the schools, but I have heard of isolated incidences. My kids are in local school for the past three years and I have not experienced anything of that sort personally.

There is always a general feel from the locals that foreigners are here to take away their opportunities and jobs, and it comes out in many ways, but at least the school authorities do not show them.
