PRESCHOOLS
UWC South East Asia
(East Campus)
Stella and Sameer Advani, American
Priyanka (6) and Amiya (4)
Both our daughters are enrolled in UWCSEA East Campus: Priyanka is currently in K2
and this is the end of her second year, while Amiya is in K1 and is finishing her first year.
We chose UWC as it had been strongly recommended by our external family. In
addition, the school places equal importance on academics, personal and social
education, physical education, and service – this is closely aligned to our family values.
As parents, we feel that UWC has harnessed our children’s love for learning and sense
of curiosity. The curriculum is organised around an inquiry-based approach, which involves
real-world problem-solving by collaborating with peers through projects and presentations.
We especially enjoy the student-led conferences, during which our kids get to present
the various skills they’ve learnt throughout the academic year. Academics apart, they
enjoy the after-school activities like swimming and gymnastics. We also like the buddy
system, whereby students in the older grades are paired with those in the infant school
for various assignments and activities, as well as on field trips.
Although our girls have different dispositions and are a year and a half apart, both of
them are thriving at UWCSEA. We would highly recommend the school as the teachers
understand that the students come from various cultural backgrounds, and that each
individual student comes with her own set of challenges and learning goals. In short,
the school doesn’t accommodate solely one type of learning ability, nor does it try to
mould the children into a certain type of student.
