When it comes to Singapore local school admission for foreign students, most of them prefer to study at international schools. This is as true of a primary school, as it is of a high school. The reasons for this are quite obvious. For one, the local curriculum and medium of instruction would be different from what such students are used to back home. For instance, students who have come from India would like to study at an Indian international school like the Global Indian International School, as they offer the same CBSE curriculum that is offered by schools in India. Then again, they would also offer international curricula like the International Baccalaureate programme that helps one do well in the global academic environment.
