Suzhou Singapore International School
As parents, when looking for the right school for our children, we consider many factors; academic programs, accreditation, reputa- tion, exam results, extra-curricular activities program; all of which are very important factors that are offered by most international and private schools around the globe, however it is that moment when a family contacts our school or steps through our doors for the very first time that they can truly see the environment of trust, see the smiles on the children’s faces, hear the sounds, watch the interactions and feel the happiness and welcome that sets SSIS apart from everyone else.

Dragon Tales September 2023 Issue: Scale Up for the New Semester
The university counseling team is thrilled to announce that SSIS will host a public information session for Parsons School of Design, The New School, on October 10th.
SSIS was proud to organize and host the first ever on-site conference for educators from China to come and learn about best literacy practices for students from early years through high school.
Despite the drizzling rain, the students of Grade 9 Chinese Class embarked on an exciting educational excursion to the historic and cultural town of Tongli in Wujiang District, Suzhou on September 14.
In MYP Design classes, students were tasked with making a character that reflected their own unique personalities.
It's an exciting week at SSIS as we kick off Season 1 of our Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) with a burst of enthusiasm.
We are delighted to share with you the incredible strides we have made in reading instruction here at SSIS over the past two years that now directly benefit your child.
Attending SSIS means to me an opportunity to broaden my horizons. To have the blessing and opportunity to attend an international school means to learn not only your average school topics, but how to share environments with other cultures and groups of people that you might not be familiar with.
The SSIS community is honestly the ideal mixture of acceptance, encouragement and quirk. If I were to have learned anything at SSIS, it would be to simply not be ordinary.
I am lucky to be a student at SSIS. Over the years, the school has taught me things beyond just academics. In SSIS, I am offered a variety of extracurricular activities that range from service, and creativity, to activity.
Being a student at SSIS has made me realise the importance of learning and how to be a lifelong learner. This school has made me want to be the best version of myself.
