Hi all,
We are seriously contemplating a move to Singapore as dh has been offered a really great package with his current company, running things out of Singapore. DH had a look around and really liked UWCSEA for ds, who is currently year 6.
Our dilemma is that ds is quite academic and sitting the 11+ for selective Indie schools (Latymer Upper, KCS) in London. He also has some mild SEN (joint hyper mobility) so we are bearing this in mind when looking for next schools for him. Ds is very into art and drama and will be applying for scholarships in both. Dh's job opportunity is totally out of the blue but as I said it's a great package in terms of accommodation/school fees/maid/bills all paid. On the other hand ds has been preparing for the 11+ for a long time and if he gets in then based purely on academics, the London day schools get pretty great results. The other thing we like is the level and understanding of SEN in the London schools we're looking at as well as the standard of art and drama.
BUT... the money and the lifestyle benefits are really tempting. I have arthritis and the climate would be great for me and for ds it would mean access to a swimming pool in our accommodation which would be great as daily swimming would really help with his joint pain.
Sorry for the incredibly rambling post - getting to the point now! So my question is - does anyone know what art and drama are like at UWCSEA? Also anyone with experience of their SEN provision? Very confused and could do with some advice!
Thanks so much in advance!
