"That it may be a harder program than they came out of in the US, and to encourage their child to take time to make friends. It doesn't happen overnight. But the teachers are great and helpful and go overboard to help," wrote an expat with kids at International Community School in Singapore.

"Singapore is home to some of the best international and bilingual schools in the world. One of the most renowned international schools is the Singapore American School (SAS), which offers a comprehensive American-style education to students from pre-K to grade 12. SAS is known for its rigorous academic standards, diverse student body, and commitment to developing global citizens. Another top international school is the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA), which offers an international curriculum to students from pre-K to grade 12. UWCSEA is renowned for its commitment to developing global citizens through its emphasis on service learning, outdoor education, and experiential learning. For bilingual education, the Canadian International School (CIS) is one of the top choices.
