Thanks jedamum,


I was hoping I could find a gem (in my opinion) in Singapore primary schools.

Appreciate your advises greatly.

Hi, I have been looking for a primary school in Singapore is not so focused on academic results but rather to develop the child as a person and a passion for learning.

Like children leaving the school with higher level of self confidence, more perseverance, eager to discover and do in-depth study/reading of subjects that truly interests them (may not be subjects taught in school), etc..

Have any parents heard of such schools? What I know is children are normally so stressed out in schools that it kills their natural instinct to learn and are subsequently labelled lazy.

Hi, I am mom of a 2005 boy. I have shortlised a few schools and found temasek pri best meet my criteria (I am focusing more on non academic areas like developing the child based on his strength, a nurturing environment ie motivating and patient teachers over academic excellence). This is based on my findings from reading their websites and the awards they have received.

Now, I wonder how life is really like for a child currently is or was from the school. I have no wish for my son to be constantly doing his homework and going for enrichments/remedials even during the holidays.

Is there such an ideal local school in Singapore

By the way, I am planning to move so location is not really so much of an issue.

Thank you for all your advices.
