I have a 9 old in a Montessori in HK and as we're moving to Singapore, well, I would like to continue with this kind of schooling for him.  Can anyone recommend a good Montessori that continues past the age of 7.
Thanks,
Sue

Unfortunately there is no Montessori past age 6 here in Singapore.
Our kids go to an IB school where there is lots of project based learning, and they're happy. The Montessori kindergarten has given them a great foundation for independent work and self-organization.
I think the Candian International school integrates some Montessori principles into their primary curriculum, but then your child would be past primary pretty soon.
I'd check out the IB schools here- most importantly you need a place. They're all good, and OFS always has space. The top tier ones UWC, TT and SAS are harder to get into but not impossible. The cost is comparable to HK international schools, if not higher. 25-30K/annum.
If you are very keen to carry on with Montessori, there is always homeschooling.
Good luck with settling in!
