Education does not come cheap in Singapore - especially when you are considering an International School education for your children.
Fairview International School was founded in 1978 offering IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma. They claim to have the Largest International Baccalaureate world school network in Malaysia (5 campuses). They have students from all over the world.
Out of the 5 Fairview campuses, the closest campus to Singapore is Fairview International Johor (8 year history), it is considered a premium private International school with high expectations from teachers, students, security, and operations.
Transport is not an issue because the new Fairview International School, with more than 300 students is just minutes drive from Singapore customs checkpoint.
Complimentary daily school transport provides 2 pick-up/alighting points. The first at The Grandstand which is located at 200 Turf Club Road (6:20am) and the second pick-up point at Singapore Woodlands Checkpoint (6:35am).
There is no need for students to alight at customs as Fairview is using car transport for the comfort of all students traveling from Singapore.
This direct non-stop journey only takes 50 minutes.
Fairview's academic programme backed by the UK national curriculum is driven by concepts, inquiry, the learner profile, flipped classroom, technology integrated learning, Approaches to Learning, expeditions, co-curricular activities, Action and Service, and charity programmes.
They give students challenging learning experiences that would lead to students' construction of meaning about the central idea, and developing their reading and writing processes. For example if the topic is about family, it raises their collective awareness and understanding of their family, cultural origins and personal histories.
In so doing, students share and are supported in their personal and social development, with emphasis on awareness of own identity and development.
