Feedback on Asia Pacific World School?

Has anyone else noticed that the school bus routes are a bit delayed this term? Apart from the logistics, the faculty is quite approachable and they respond to emails quickly.

It’s a decent school if your child is independent. My daughter has been there for two years and she enjoys the environment, but you’ll definitely need to focus on home tutoring for math if they fall behind.

I had gone for the campus tour last month. The facilities are top-notch, but I felt the student-teacher ratio was a bit high in the middle school sections. Might be worth asking them directly about their plan for the next academic year.

Hi, my daughter is in Grade 4 at APWS. Academically it’s quite balanced, they don’t put undue pressure on the kids compared to other schools, but do check if the current class teacher for your child’s grade is experienced, as there have been a few teacher rotations lately.

My son is in Grade 5 there. Honestly, the curriculum is quite balanced, but don't expect them to push the kids too hard on traditional rote learning. If you are looking for more focus on extracurriculars and practical projects, it's a good choice, but check the transport logistics first as that has been a bit of a pain point for us lately.

I suggest you try to meet a few parents during dispersal time instead of just the admin staff. It gives a much clearer picture of how the kids are actually enjoying the school environment.

I visited APWS last month for admissions. The campus infrastructure is impressive, but I felt the faculty turnover is a bit high compared to other schools in the area. I'm also considering other options, so if anyone has feedback on the IB program there specifically, please share!

Honestly, it really depends on what you want. We moved our son there for the IB curriculum, and the project-based learning is good, but you need to be involved in their assignments as they can get quite intensive.
