Very likely we are moving to Singapore in Aug of this year. I've been trawling the forums and found all the info hugely helpful. My boy, aged 7 and at a small London prep, is used to the heat and food as his Dad is half Malaysian so we've been to that side of the world a few times; he loves it. He is, however, used to a small and intimate school.
I like the sound of Dover Court and OFS for their intimate make-up, though the latter seems to have had some dodgy write-ups. We'll also put him down for Tanglin although the size will be something for him to get used to; probably by the time a space comes up he'll be doing his A Levels.
Having visited S'pore at Christmas and stayed in town as you do when on hols, I have this romantic notion of having a condo somewhere similar. My question is, if we got into DC - my preferred choice, I think - or even Tanglin if we were so lucky, can I still live somewhere central and do the school run by cab or MRT? I don't drive and I'm not sure about the school bus system, although I think after a few months he'd be OK about doing it.
Or is it better to live near the schools and so have your new parent friends around you? And if you do live near Dover Court or Tanglin what do most people do for accomm and do you all drive? And taxi swaps going on? Where do you all live and is it easy to get to town? I like the condo idea but find the property websites hard to navigate.
Any ideas / thoughts appreciated.
Oh, and if anyone has left beloved pets behind, where did you relocate them and how did that go?
LOTS of questions, sorry...
