Carolin and Alexander Henke, German
Philipp (13), Celina (11) and Florian (7)
We’ve been living in Singapore since 2005. Currently, Philipp is in Grade 7, Celina
in Grade 5 and Florian in Grade 1.
When we moved here, we visited many schools but it was the Swiss School’s
facilities, resources and nurturing environment that held the most appeal to us. The
school is nestled in tropical forest and the small, cosy campus gave us the serene
feeling of being at home.
From the first day, we observed that students at the campus were generally
cheerful and happy. Our kids love going there every morning, and the credit goes
to the outstanding dedication of the friendly teachers, management and staff.
For us it was crucial that our children receive the best possible attention, support
and care from the teachers. We see it as a great advantage that the school has small
classes, which are often divided into even smaller groups during the lessons. This has a
positive impact on the children’s learning, as they are able to receive individual attention.
When the students are ready to progress to the secondary level, Grade 7, the Swiss
School transfers them to a bigger school like United World College. For Philipp, it
was definitely the right step. The intensive preparation by the English Department
and the international curriculum allowed him a smooth transition.
We would definitely recommend this school to families who want to provide
their children with an opportunity to develop their personality in a family-oriented
environment, alongside a structured curriculum.
