and Naja (3)
Anton and Fie have been attending
GESS since September last year. Both
of them started at the school two days
after we arrived in Singapore. Their
younger sister stayed at home for six
months before we decided to put her
in a local preschool, and she will join
GESS when she gets older.
We did not get a chance to visit
the different schools in Singapore,
as we’d always lived in Denmark
and neither of us had ever been to
Asia. But we did spend many hours
on the internet reading up on the
curriculums, the rules and reviews
of various schools. We ended up
choosing GESS for several reasons
– their website was very informative,
for one thing, and the environment
looked welcoming. Furthermore, they
had a Danish programme, which
would make it possible for our kids
to continue practising their mother
tongue. I also liked the focus on
European cultures.
GESS is a great school with a relaxed
and friendly atmosphere. The skilled
teachingandadministrativestaffwelcome
any questions and are passionate about
what they are doing. We like the teaching
style and the curriculum that incorporates
our mother tongue.
The kids are happy in GESS and
they are learning so much. They also
get to choose from a wide selection
of after-school activities that are fun
and engaging. I would recommend
this school to anyone, especially
other families who are relocating to
Singapore from Europe.
