Singapore American School

SAS is special because of the facilities and the endless opportunities. Students have so many options as to what passion they might want to pursue.

I am proud of my drive to keep challenging myself. I never thought I would be able to do a research project in engineering or reach the top of the climbing gym, but perseverance led to some of my proudest achievements. I am proud that I will try hard to never give up and believe that "Yash, I can!"

What's my favorite SAS memory? Interim Semester in Kenya! Taking bucket showers, being completely isolated from wifi/phones/ social media, and spending a week in communal tent was an experience second to none.

SAS prepared me to be versatile. With courses in a multitude of subjects and flexible courses like Catalyst, I was able to foster my interests and develop new ones.

One lesson that I learned at SAS that has prepared me for college is to pursue the things I genuinely enjoy.

SAS has taught me to face challenges with grit.

What makes SAS special is its emphasis on participation in extracurriculars and encouragement to pursue passions beyond academics.

In my three years at SAS, it is the students and teachers who have had the strongest impact on me. When I first moved to Singapore, making friends was a huge challenge. However, the diversity at SAS offers a fantastic mix, giving me an opportunity to overcome shyness.
