Every parent wish their kids can enter the Singapore international school, so they search around almost all the international schools in Singapore and hope to find the top one, The environment of the school, the teachers, the safety and etc., all these things will list into parents considerations. However, are there some aspects that should be considered seriously? It's curriculums of international school, which cannot only have a big influence on your kids’ self-development, but also will directly determine the universities you kids can enter.

Curriculum is the biggest and most important feature and soul of an international school. Generally, there are 3 types of curriculums. Here I will introduce every of the curriculum detailedly and make comparisons on these three curriculums in my following four articles. Hope can help your kids find a top Singapore international school l and give them a bright future.

These curriculums are IB curriculum, AP curriculum and A-level curriculum. Among the schools now, the IB curriculum is then adopted by most Singapore international schools. Later is A-level, and AP. The A-level is also call General Certificate of Education Advanced Level that is a national education system of Britain, which also is measurement when enters the British universities. The AP is an abbreviation of Advanced Placement, which is the advanced placement curriculum when enters American universities. The full name of IB is International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme that was designed by the international Baccalaureate Organization for students, because of IB is designed by IBO, it recognized by many countries' universities.

So as I introduced before, the different curriculum will determine which of the countries' universities that your kids can enter. If your kids want to go to America, they did better to choose Singapore international school that adopt AP curriculum. The money of AP test is cheap for 82 dollars. But if your kids want to enter some universities in Britain, then choose the A-Level, which is topical design for British students. Maybe the ages of your kids are too youth to decide their favorite universities or countries, then the IB school is the best choose, for it was recognized by thousands of famous universities from more than 100 countries. What's more, the IB curriculum uses the unitive teaching programme, textbooks, examination, and standard of evaluation. So every kid from all of the world will be treated equally without discrimination.
