Our monthly celebration of our visitors!

In July, we welcomed a group of undergraduates from Shandong Normal University, China. The group explored Singapore’s rich education story — from the early efforts of immigrant pioneers and missionaries to how Singapore ensures every child has a place in school.

Thank you for visiting us!

Imagine a day in school when you’re not surrounded by high-rise concrete but embraced by coconut palms swaying to the waves of the rippling sea.

In this 1963 photo, school assembly takes place against an idyllic backdrop on Pulau Sudong, an island off Singapore’s southern coast — a reminder that school life looked very different at an island school.
