Expat child in local school

More and more foreigners are choosing to call Singapore home for the long haul. The whole family comes as a package, so schooling is a big priority for these families. Singapore is proud to be chosen as a good place to bring up children. More importantly, many expatriates are finding that local school education is a better alternative to international schools. Why?

The beauty of Singapore is its multi-cultural landscape and people. Local schools offer complete integration into the local lifestyle, good quality education (that even the Americans want to learn from), and Chinese language. Parents no longer think of how their children will fit in back home but how well their children will be able to fit into a global workforce in the future. Bilingualism is the way to go.

Start the child speaking before three years old and he will have no problem with learning another language. This South African family has found this to be true for their two older children. They will soon be trilingual: English, Chinese, Afrikaans.

Have fun learning a new language!
