We’re attracted to NLCS Singapore for its strong academic ethos and its attention for each individual child. We love the feeling of a school within a school; the first school situated with its own facilities but part of a much wider community, with swimming and canteen facilities and more, all for him to interact with other students but within a community that’s safe for him as well.

The school community is excellent. I have joined so many events, activities, and am probably one of the most attended mommies in the school! Being of Chinese background, I want my kids to be exposed to Chinese culture, but here, they celebrate Diwali and all other festivals. I want my daughters to see and observe different cultures at a young age. It’s a really good experience and broadens her views and allows her to understand different kinds of people. It’s a multicultural environment, which I really appreciate.
