Confused
about where to send your child to study?
Here are a few helpers. |
| |
We
understand and appreciate what you, as a
parent, might go through while choosing
the best place for your child to study in.
How many sleepless nights you must have
spent in anticipation of the day when you
finally have to decide the school that will
shape your child's future. But with so many
options around the corner, we thought some
basic questions regarding what to expect
from a school should be answered, so that
you take an informed decision. |
| |
| Worry
1: Want my child to go to the best school
but I can't decide? |
| |
Any
good school should (a) cultivate enthusiasm
in a child to discover and learn, (b) instill
a sense of confidence, (c) provide a nurturing
atmosphere. If you are looking at a school
that fulfills all these criteria, Singapore
International School (SIS), is your best
option. Moreover, SIS aims at making global
citizens of tomorrow. |
| |
| Worry
2: Does SIS have Day Boarding? |
| |
SIS
has a unique day boarding facility, where
a student comes in the morning enjoys international
schooling, has nutritious meals, follows
interesting CCA program schedule and goes
home to be with the family. |
| |
| Worry
3: How many students are taught in each class? |
| |
SIS
maintains a low 'student-to-teacher' ratio
for optimal learning and personalized attention.
The maximum class strengthis twenty five. |
| |
| Worry
4: What are the advantages of Weekly Boarding? |
| |
Weekly
boarding at SIS envelops an environment
that allows the student to stay focused
on his studies and CCA activities and be
free from distraction during the week. It
helps to build self discipline, team spirit
and prepares the child to be independent.
The children return home during the weekend
to spend quality time to bond with the family. |
| |
| Worry
5: Will SIS take care of transportation for
day scholars? |
| |
SIS
has a fleet of AC cars, with an integrated
GSM GPRS Tracking facility for day scholars,
so that they can commute in comfort and
security. At no time, will your child be
ferried unaccompanied by an adult, responsible
for the welfare of the day scholars in her
custody during the commute. |
| |
| Worry
6: Is SIS curriculum suitable for my child? |
| |
The
schools curriculum is modeled on the lines
of the highly reputed Singapore education
sytem, with affiliations to International
Baccalaurate (IB), and IGCSE, which is at
par with the best international schools. |
| |
| Worry
7: My child hardly ever studies! Will he be
able to study there? |
| |
With
a team of experienced faculty members, your
child will not be pressurized but conditioned
to study. The focus is on mastering learning
methods, like Buzon Mind Mapping Techniques,
Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking, Brain
Gym, Abacus, etc. A Swiss style finishing
program integrated with curriculum takes
care and makes your child ready for the
world and the future. |
| |
| Worry
8: What are the extra-curricular activities
offered? |
| |
CCA
programs are conducted during/after school
hours by championship level sports professionals
in fields like Football, Cricket, Rugby,
Hockey, Basketball, Chess and Athletics,
Judo, Karate, Swimming, Badminton, etc.
Other co-curricular activities include Vocal
and Instrumental Programs, Choir, Dance
and Art programs like Painting, Pottery,
Craft etc. |
| |
| Worry
9: My child has a unique problem - he is fussy
about food. |
| |
This
is a common concern among all children.
And hence, we have initiated a range of
nutritious and appetizing food on the menu,
freshly prepared, in a hygienic way. Our
nutritionist not only decides the menu but
carefully oversees every preparation. |
| |
| Worry
10: Where is the school located? |
| |
The
location of SIS at Dahisar, is by choice,
so that your child gets a calm and serene
environment to study in peace. The sprawling
10 acre campus is full of greenery and has
been designed to provide the required atmosphere
for studies and co-curricular activities.
It is situated on the National Highway 8,
25 minutes drive from the airport. |
