PRESCHOOLS
Swiss School
Patricia and Jonathan, Irish
and British
Lauren (7), and
twins Beatrice and Isabelle
(5)
Our three daughters have been
attending the Swiss School since
we arrived in Singapore last July.
Currently, the twins are in the Early
Childhood section, where classes are
in English and German, while Lauren
is in the Primary school, which follows
the Kanton Zug curriculum.
We heard about the Swiss School
from my husband’s colleagues. Their
children were enrolled there, so we kept
hearing positive reports about it.
In choosing a school, I wanted one
that was conveniently located and
easily accessible. I also wanted an
environment in which my kids would
not only thrive and be happy, but also
continue learning a second language.
We are really pleased to have chosen
the Swiss School. It is situated in the
grounds of the Swiss Club in Bukit
Timah and is surrounded by greenery.
It has a wonderful village vibe and the
teachers are lovely. With the preschool,
specifically, we have been impressed
with the small class sizes and play-
based learning. We also like the idea
of thematic learning – when Beatrice’s
class had an open day on the theme of
oceans, you could see how much the
kids had learnt frommaking the posters
and presenting them to their friends.
We lived in Switzerland for nearly
three years before coming to Singapore,
and I have really enjoyed seeing how
some of the Swiss traditions have been
continued in the school. One particular
event is the Lantern Evening, where the
children get to make lanterns and sing
the special songs that go with the Feast
of St Martin.
