Hello!
I'm looking for some guidance on what to do about primary children's schooling in Singapore. @mmgirish @tomhazard
We've just had our visas through and will be moving to Singapore in April 2019 from Tokyo, Japan. Currently, I've two boys in Reception and Year 2 at the British School in Tokyo. I've been trying to find places for my two sons at schools in Singapore for April 2019, but unfortunately there are not many options.
I could put them both into ISS international school, although, it wouldn't be my first choice. Or I could put my Year 2 boy in to One World International School and then wait until August 2019 for my Reception boy to go. Any thoughts on either of those schools?
I wanted to know whether it would be feasible to keep them out of school from April 2019 until August 2019 when hopefully, I'll be able to get them both into the same school somewhere. Are there any tutoring agencies which may be able to provide them schooling for a term so they are not too far behind? Will missing one term at this age be detrimental to their schooling?
This whole move to Singapore has been very last minute and unfortunately many of the schools require evidence of visas before an application can be made.
Any thoughts appreciated!
