Guide To 4 Top Schools Offering The American Curriculum In Singapore
The Best of Locally Available US Education
In the sea of different and increasingly progressive curricula to choose from when enrolling your kiddos in international schools, the American curriculum is among the most widely used ones, along with the English National Curriculum and the IB curriculum.
Unlike the British, the US educational system is characterized by a lack of uniformity, so it is often unclear what the term “American curriculum” exactly implies. Before we present you with our scoop of the best places to get that premium American education, let’s clear those muddy waters and explain what it is that sets it apart first!
American international schools provide a core curriculum designed to prepare students for enrolment at schools and universities in the US especially, as well as other universities across the globe. The approach is less focused on the strict and boring academic side and more on the open and engaging holistic side, yet excellence is continuously achieved. This westernmost approach is student-centered, based on inquiry and hands-on teaching, and prepares our humans aged 5 to 18 for the greatest test of all—the unpredictability of the future.
Each of these schools in Singapore gives the American curriculum its own special twist, but all prepare their students for studies in the US or simply taking on the world with the help of a beautifully developed personal toolbox. Here we go!
