ExpatSingapore - schools

Liya: I specifically looked at both SAS and OFS and chose OFS. I don't know what your situation is but mine is as follows: I have two school-age kids (7 and 4). We are American, but went to an international school when we were in Europe. My kids picked up the local language quickly at our last assignment. Since learning a foreign language is best before the age of 13, I really wanted my kids to have a strong foreign language program in elementary school, starting with 1st grade. OFS offers this, SAS does not(I believe SAS starts much later in elementary school, or perhaps even in middle school). Moreover, OFS offers swimming (just play and water safety, though) for my 4-year old and SAS does not. OFS is closer to the southwestern part of the island, where we live, than SAS. Finally, the international mix of kids at OFS is great. The two largest national groups are the Japanese and the Americans, followed very closely by the Indians. In addition to the mix, the school strongly supports respect for all peoples and cultures. I am very happy with my kids at OFS.
I have heard that SAS is great at the high school level, but I haven't had to address that issue yet. Good luck with your choice---it's nice to be in the position of having to choose between good schools.
