      Hi, I am also a SAHM with a daughter attending N1 next year. I am also having 2 minds whether to send my girl to Lorna Whiston or Chiltern House. I don’t really need the child care service and at the same time worry abt deprieving my girl frm learning more things. Would appreciate more advise on this. Thanks!

        Hi, I visited Lorna Whiston East Coast during their open house and like the place. My girl had fun playing with the balls there too and didn’t want to go. Hubby felt that price is too high, which I think so too but I personally don’t mind paying a high fee for good education.


        It seems from the reviews here that the curriculum and teachers are good. However, I read from another forum that because most of the kids there are rich kids, they tend to be arrogant and spoilt when they are in P1. I am not rich and will be sacrificing stuff to send my girl to school but do not want her to turn into a spoilt brat. Does anyone have any comments or have any real encounters with a Lorna Whiston child? I do hope that that forum is biased because I really really like the school.

            Thanks Onionchief, it is nice hearing about your and your kids’ experiences. I also like it that the cooking is done in-house. Another thing which my hubby doesn’t like is that it’s air-con, but I guess this doesn’t matter because they have a strict policy towards sick children and each classroom has it’s own aircon, except for a common aircon in the corridors and common areas.

              Hi, our family is not very rich too and we send our child to Lorna Whiston at Alexandra. 🙂 I do not send her for enrichment programmes. I only try to spend quality time to be with her everyday.


              I have met different parents and teachers at the school. There are some parents who can be snobbish, but not all are like that. The children are too young to understand all of this, I think.

              I took the school bus to school, along with my child, during the recent Sentosa excursion trip. I do think the children are very well-behaved - playful, chatty, engaging and funny. I do not see them as spoilt brats.

              Personally, I do not let this get to me. I always believe that it is loving kindness that distinguishes a great person. No one is to be judged by the amount of monetary possessions that he or she owns.

              So far, I really love the school. It may not be perfect. But seeing how much my child loves going to school makes my day. She started off being very nervous and frightened but now, a year later, she is a happy and confident girl.

              🙂

                I’m also thinking of moving my ds there. Anyone has comments with regards to teachers and teaching methods
