Looking to enrol your child in preschool or school? Check out our schedule of upcoming open days...
Choosing the best school in Singapore for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will make for your family. Above and beyond a school’s curriculum, the atmosphere, the attitude and experience of the staff, the teaching culture and how comfortable you feel with the school community can make all the difference when it comes down to choosing what suits your family. The best way to get a real insight is by visiting the schools you have in mind during an open day, or by joining a regular tour – you can meet the teaching team, see the facilities first-hand and ask all of your pressing questions!
Here’s our selection of upcoming open days and tours to check out – and don’t forget, if you want to conduct a little research beforehand and compare schools, check out the HoneyKids School Selector tool!
