Children's Committee Volunteer Opportunities
This committee is designed to involve members with young children in planning, organizing and implementing activities for their children. In doing so members are able to find social interaction for their children. Additionally, they network with other mothers who have common experiences in motherhood and expat life. For more information please contact Melissa Cole.
International Schools
Click on 'International Schools' above to view a list of schools most frequented by AWA children. For more information and a complete listing of international schools in Singapore, visit: Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE).
An International School is considered by the Singapore Government to be one with a curriculum based upon a foreign system. Examples are SAS, which uses the American system or Chatsworth, OFS, ISS, etc, which use the IB/PYP system.
The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) licenses some schools as "approved institutions", which allows eligible Singaporean citizens to utilize the Children Development Co-Saving (CDA) Scheme for the payment of kindergarten fees. It also means that they are "childcare centers" and can provide before and after-school daycare to cater to working parents. For more information see: MCYS
The Ministry of Education (MOE) advises local preschools/kindergartens to give priority to local children. For more information on local preschools and kindergartens, go to MOE.
