Singapore is fast becoming a multi-cultural society, moving beyond the various ethnic groups of Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians to a truly progressive, cosmopolitan community, with citizens from various nationalities over the world. Currently, there are about 90,000 professional expatriates living and working in Singapore. They add to the unique culture and perspective, adding to the colour and vibrancy of Singapore. This multi-cultural cosmopolitan society provides an all-round exposure to the child.
Singapore's high standard of living, world-class infrastructure and political stability make it an attractive place to live and study. It boasts a good quality of life that is on par with the most pulsating cities in Europe and the United States of America. Its arts and entertainment scene is a rich palate of colours and flavours. The island nation's climate is also conducive to outdoor activities all year round, with a vast variety to choose from.
