She is skilled with working in landed homes as well as apartments. She cooks, and can fully run a household. If you are interested you can contac...

There are many parents facing similar frustrations regarding their child or children, so I felt it important to share. First you should seek the advise of a lawyer. Generally it would be ill advised for a school to take such a swift decision on expelling a child in such a short time. Generally if a ...

From what you have said in OP you are coming in on a "localized package".
You should see if the company can provide schooling expenses and a cost of living increase as Singapore is very expensive. You will not be able to save on 6K.

Avondale continues to make improvements to their facilities. The PA contributes directly to bettering the experience for their kids. The school has much to offer so take a look for yourself before posting incorrect info. The busing would be about 45 minutes… I live closer and my son still gets home ...

Singapore has a limited amount of schools that actually deal with Special Needs. Prepare yourself for the reality that your child will be rejected by a few schools. I would be applying right now and quick!.If there is no learning issues and he or she is at grade level, then thats a positive. If its ...

He needs to apply for a LtVP+(plus). As a PR or Singaporean citizen he would qualify if legally married to you. This will allow him to work as well. The MOM has it listed on their website although there is some confusion on how issues it ICA or MOM… you should look on line or call directly. To insur...

Hi Sunny, As I have noticed here in Singapore and around the world, everyone's experience can be different. Avondale has provided my son a safe, supportive, and challenging school experience. Every child is challenged to get out and shine. There is sports, music, art, as well as extra curricular act...

Singapore is not like a lot of Asian countries that are very loose on laws about your domestic staff. MOM has a full website on FDW's rights and Employers Responsibilities. The last thing you want is to break the law here. Cost wise it may be more beneficial to just have a live in. I know if your no...

if you put it perspective… Terms like expats, or foreigners has a different meaning to each of us. As does what makes for a great experience or what puts us off. For an adventurous young couple, or a a single gentleman, what would be a non factor could be a deal breaker for a family who's husband tr...

Safety, is a huge concern…. I lived in KL for 3 years. It mattered not whether I lived in a "security complex or in a exclusive area in a landed house. I had to have a security guard. From home invasion breaking, to purse snatchings, to your car getting smashed and your handbag grabbed out the windo...

The kids don't miss all the bells and whistles that some of the bigger schools may have. They are all happy, engaged, respectful and kind to each other. There a...
