THE JUDGES
For this year’s Singapore Education Awards, we enlisted the help of education industry experts to assess and identify Singapore’s top international schools. They tirelessly evaluated the performance of each international school based on their academic performance, student engagement, campus culture, people and more!

We do this through one-on-one coaching and group sessions which provide them with a space and platform to question their thinking, challenge their assumptions, and consciously upgrade their belief systems in order to support a life that feels authentically aligned with who they really are. Divya leverages her background in professional coaching, holistic communications, and innovation culture development to provide the best possible experience for her clients and community.

READER GIVEAWAY
To say thank you for taking the time to vote, we’ve given one lucky reader a prize of an amazing family staycation at Telunas Private Island worth $ 2,200! They’ll enjoy a two-night stay for up to two adults and two children on this idyllic island in Indonesia. From a split-level overwater villa to get away from it all to an infinity pool and overwater spa, and you can keep the kids entertained with kayaking and stand-up paddle boards. This is the perfect chance to recharge as the resort doesn’t have wifi – so it’s the break from the hustle and bustle and constant ‘on’ that we all need.
