Singapore International SchoolsIn a country lacking in natural resources, human talent becomes the most valuable resource. As a result, significant emphasis is placed on education in Singapore. Education is inexpensive, but even at that, financial assistance through scholarships and bursaries is provided for needy students from primary to tertiary levels. Starting at the age of 5, a typical student goes through 2 years of kindergarten, 6 years of primary school, 4 or 5 years of secondary school, 2 years of Junior College leading to the GCE A Levels, and 3 or 4 years of university education.
