Hi Vijee,

Yeah I u'stand. This *janjat* of commuting on weekends for mother tongue classes are there. But for that reason, i dont see anything special in Indian Schools.

Hi Mihika,

I u'stand. I have to tell you that its really not that scary as its getting picturized. Actually speaking, (in my very honest opinion) kids adjust very well. Its only some parents who worry about the streaming. However, the system has changed now. It is not that obvious now-a-days. They have a mix in every class. And invariably, most EXPAT children do well compared to *local* indian kids.

At the end, its fianlly your own choice.

So good luck.
:thumbsup

Hi Vijee,

I missed to write abt NPS. Its National Public School. Has branched out from Bangalore. Its quite prestigeous back in India. Am sure you have heard about them.

Re: indian school in singapore

Hi all,
My kid is in DPS. He is studying in 3rd standard now. I feel comfortable with the school. Only thing is that it is expensive compared with local schools, but here we can find our languages and easy comunication.
We were here in last October and got a midterm admission. He got adjusted as it was the same syllabus and no communication problem.

dear all singapore ils,

what is the min age for L.K.G. in singapore.I put my daughter for l.k.g at 3 and 6 months(as on june).Now she is in 2nd std.will she be able to continue her 2nd std in singapore?

Normally in bangalore they take only at 4 years.some how i got her admitted in cbse school at 3 years and 6 months.

Please help me in this.

 

Hi Kamala,

If u admit ur child to Indian schools ,she can continue in 2nd std. itself,but if u admit to local school she has to go to Ist std.Actually we came here from Bengaluru when my son was studying 4th and he has been admitted to GIIS for Class 4 itself.(Indian school)with same CBSE syllabus. So he adjusted to the new place very easily without any worries.
