At North London Collegiate School (Singapore), we recognise how cultural backgrounds and generational experiences shape how students and parents understand education—especially expectations around career paths, academic performance and what counts as success.
We see that balancing cultural/family expectations with personal aspirations can be challenging. Our school supports this by encouraging honest conversations, listening actively, and helping students and parents explore educational options together.
We also emphasise holistic development—not just excellent grades. Extracurriculars, personal interests and character building are important parts of our approach to help students feel confident following their own path.
Our goal is to help every student and family navigate these differences with respect and understanding, so everyone can make choices that align with both cultural values and individual goals.
