Stamford Kindergarten

Tine and Bjorn Westerlund, Norwegian and Swedish

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.
