Olivia (5.5) and Oscar (2.5)
We’ve been in Singapore for nearly two years. Both our kids are enrolled at
Stamford, with Olivia currently in Kindergarten 1 and Oscar in Pre-Kindergarten
from August.
Before moving to Singapore, we asked Crown Relocation Singapore to provide
us with a list of high quality international schools; Stamford was one of them.
After visiting several other schools, we quickly decided that Stamford was the
right school for us.
So far, our experience with the school has been excellent. The teachers are
dedicated and the curriculum is outstanding. Our children learn through inquiry
and this educational model feels exactly right for us, especially in this ever-changing
world. The amount of knowledge our children have amassed is impressive. They
are learning to be explorers, thinkers, and innovators.
Furthermore, we consider Stamford’s daily Mandarin classes, as well as the
physical education programme, vital for our children’s development. We also
like the musical training they receive. From Pre-Kindergarten, they learn to play
the violin.
Every day we can follow our children’s activities on MyStamford, a web portal
developed for communication between parents and the school. Through pictures
and posts from the teachers, we know how their day has been.
Stamford is helping prepare our children for dealing with change and challenges
in a confident way. Most importantly, both Olivia and Oscar are genuinely happy
when they go to school! We feel that the inquiry method is a key reason for why they
are learning so much and enjoying it. After all, children are inquisitive by nature.
