Singapore is a massively popular expat destination – particularly with families, partly due to the excellent international schools that are available. Waiting lists can be long, especially at the most reputable international schools, so apply as early as possible.
Parents can apply for one of Singapore's many public schools, although expats should note that citizens and permanent residents of Singapore take precedence over new arrivals to the country. Most expats send their children to one of the many excellent international schools in Singapore. There are dozens to choose from, and while most parents do their own research, some opt to take the advice of a professional education consultant, with expert knowledge of the international schools that may be suitable for each child.
The best education consultants in Singapore will often have built strong relationships with the headteachers and admissions team at the top schools, can help children get to the front of waiting lists, and can advise on exam preparation and school interviews.
