From its warm environment to the smart use of facilities, these families share why they believe Invictus International School is the right choice for their children.
Armed with a mission to nurture and inspire young children to be contributors of tomorrow, it’s no wonder why many families have chosen Invictus International School for their children. In fact, the school recently expanded to cater to growing demand and has opened a third campus in Bukit Timah in early January 2024.
So what exactly do families love about Invictus? Four families, including one who has been with the school for four years (and counting), share what led them to choose this school, and why they’d highly recommend it to other families.
The Hardwick family: Invictus’ environment and sense of community
2024 marks the fourth year since the Hardwicks joined the Invictus family. Aside from academics, Samuel and Diana wanted a school that has a strong sense of community for their children. They found this in Invictus Dempsey Hill, where both their children settled in easily, along with teachers who genuinely care for their students’ wellbeing.
“Our kids are excited to go to school every morning. This shows us how happy and comfortable they are at Invictus. We’ve met lovely teachers over these four years, and we really appreciate the efforts they make on a daily basis. Having that personal touch is so important to us,” Samuel and Diana shared.
The Bell family: Invictus’ green campus and welcoming community
Similar to the Hardwicks, the Bell family loves that Invictus Dempsey Hill has a strong sense of community. Joshua and Amy recalled feeling welcomed during the initial school tour, which made enrolling their eldest daughter there “an easy and natural choice”. They also love the lush green environment that the campus is situated in, making for the perfect environment for learning and development.
Joshua and Amy expressed, “Invictus is a great school because our daughters are so eager to get to class every morning. The warm and welcoming environment makes them feel empowered, excited, and engaged. The school community has made us feel like family since day one, and that sense of family continues today. The surroundings in Dempsey is also an added plus for us, as it takes the girls out of the ‘city’ environment they’re normally exposed to.”
The Martin family: Invictus’ focus on whole-child development
While Russ and Meredith Martin like how Chinese is integrated into school subjects to improve students’ acquisition of the language, it’s Invictus’ culture of learning and focus on whole-child development that stand out for them. The couple were so impressed with their child’s progress at Invictus, they decided to enrol their other children in the school as well.
Here’s what Russ and Meredith have to say about Invictus, “We began with only one child at Invictus Centrium Square, and were so impressed by the school’s culture of learning as well as the whole-child development. With our eldest attending lower secondary now, we can see how the curriculum prepares children for what’s to come in the future. Statistically speaking, the student body at Invictus performs above average across all levels of learning when compared to similar schools – and we get this at an affordable price point!”
The Shiraki family: Invictus’ focus on respect and smart use of facilities
There are many things that parents Shunsuke and Miho love about the school, including the bilingual primary school in the Centrium Square campus, the facilities, and core values. However, what really impressed them was Invictus’ focus on respect, one of the school’s core values. Their daughter, Karyne, occasionally quotes some of the school’s code of conduct at home. The Shirakis also appreciate the “economical and practical” way the school is run.
“We’re glad that we sent Karyne to Invictus as this is a school where people of all nationalities respect each other. The school’s peaceful code of conduct is so ingrained in her that she quotes them during our family discussions. We also think the school is practical, as it uses public facilities nearby for extra curricular activities. It’s one way to make use of local resources in a mutually beneficial manner,” Shunsuke and Miho commented.
