If you've got two or more little ones, these are the international schools in Singapore that offer sibling discounts to make schooling easier on the wallet...
As a parent, you’re probably well aware by now that education doesn’t come cheap. While the hunt for the best international schools in Singapore continues, one of the number one questions asked on school tours is “how much does it all cost?” Registration, enrolment fees, development fees and tuition all add up to one big sum, and you’ll probably need to fork out the same amount (or more) for the second, third and even fourth child. Luckily, schools have made the whole schooling process just slightly more wallet-friendly with sibling discounts on school fees. We’ve found the international schools in Singapore that offer sibling discounts*…
