Current views on Singapore schools

[whizzbang1]

Hi all,

Can I ask some Singapore MNers their opinions on the following schools? We're looking for a long term solution (ie, from 5 to 18 years old), not planning to return to the UK so don't need British curriculum necessarily. Our preferences at the moment stand as:

UWC (any views on the chances of managing to get all four children in?)
Stamford American / Dulwich

We have two that are relatively bright and would love a more academic environment, and two who are too young to know - we just want them all to be happy!

Grateful for your views.

No, gems is brand new, purpose built.

I don't know much about GEMS, but feedback I have heard is positive. If you like both, I would have serious conversations to the admissions people about availability and not to worry you, but now old are your children? Did you know there's an entrance exam for Dulwich. I thought it was a formality, but I have heard of a few children who were insuccessful and I've also heard the school have got stricter as the school's got more popular (have to add that is just chat from other parents, not anything I've heard formally). My kids will be going into year 1 and 5. Happy to answer any specific questions about dulwich x
