      What are the Advantages of International Schools?

      18th Sep 2023
      Chatsworth is a diverse and welcoming international school with over 55 student nationalities

      As Singapore thrives and matures into a leading epicentre of global commerce and cultural exchange, its educational offerings evolve in lockstep, reflecting a cosmopolitan spirit that's uniquely Singaporean. From the bustling heart of Orchard Road to the serene coasts of East Coast Park, this city-state pulsates with global influences. A myriad of schools, inspired by the global world philosophy, signify this evolution, offering curricula that foster a broad-minded, global outlook.

      In this vibrant educational tapestry, international schools have carved a distinct niche, experiencing a meteoric rise not only in numbers but also in preference. Their campuses brim with diversity – with students from all over the world including  Australia, India, Korea, and many more. As such, classrooms become melting pots of different nationalities, cultures, and ideologies.

      But is it solely their global approach that pulls parents in, or is there more beneath the surface? As we delve deeper, let’s explore the myriad advantages and benefits of what international schools could offer parents and their children.

      A Multicultural and Multilingual Education

      Diverse learning environments

      Imagine a classroom where a student from Brazil collaborates on a project with peers from Japan, Canada, and Kenya. This global microcosm doesn't just provide a knowledge-rich environment. It instils soft skills such as adaptability, collaboration, communication and global perspectives, creating citizens of the world.

      Multilingual advantages

      At international schools, English often serves as a primary medium. Yet, many institutions offer a plethora of languages, from Mandarin to Spanish to French. Chatsworth International School offers a Mother Tongue Language Programme that enables students to develop proficiency in their mother tongue or an additional language In a world where multilingualism is a prized asset, these skills place students miles ahead.

      Pioneering Curricula and Teaching Methodologies

      Rather than following a singular national curriculum, international schools often adopt globally recognised frameworks.

      International Baccalaureate (IB) programme

      Renowned for its holistic and inquiry-based approach, the IB programme fosters interconnectivity between subjects. For instance, when learning about the Industrial Revolution, it isn’t just a history lesson but an integration of economics, technology, and environmental studies.

      Emphasis on experiential learning

      Gone are the days of pure rote memorisation. International schools champion project-based or service learning, allowing students to engage with real-world problems and devise innovative solutions, making learning tangible and exciting.

      Comprehensive Support and Resources

      Personalised student support

      Acknowledging the diverse backgrounds and challenges international students might face, these schools typically provide robust student support services and systems. This could range from counselling services to pastoral care programs, ensuring each student’s well-being and academic success.

      Broad spectrum of Co-curricular activities

      From debating global issues and robot programming to arts and sports, the co-curricular landscape in international schools is vast and enriching. Such a range is aimed to challenge students, support their well-being and nurture well-rounded individuals with varied skills and passions.

      Preparing Students for a Globalised World

      Holistic development

      Beyond academic prowess, international schools prioritise character building, emphasising values like resilience, leadership, and empathy. These are the traits that stand students in good stead in an interconnected world.

      A strong foundation for higher education

      Graduates from international curricula often find themselves well-prepared for universities around the world. Their exposure to diverse subjects and global perspectives makes them attractive candidates for top-tier institutions.

      The Global Advantage of International Schools in Singapore

      In today’s globalised era, equipping children with an education that mirrors the world's diversity stands right in the middle. International schools, with their global curricula, diverse student body, and emphasis on holistic development, stand as a testament to this philosophy.

      Among the reputed institutions that embody these principles, Chatsworth International School in Singapore holds a prominent position. For parents who envision their children as global leaders, thinkers, and innovators, choosing an international school like Chatsworth is an investment in their future. Join the community that believes in a borderless, boundless education.
