Journeys

Singapore American School began in 1956 as a small community effort by American families in Singapore. Over the decades, it grew from a single bungalow at Rochalie Drive to its current Woodlands campus, evolving alongside Singapore with each move and expansion. Today, SAS stands as the largest single-campus American school outside the United States, rooted in a legacy of academic rigor, community connection, and the pioneering spirit of its founders.

Tom Boasberg highlights the unique blend of American education and international perspective at Singapore American School, emphasizing the immersive, culturally enriching experiences available to students. From exploring Singapore’s history at the National Museum to engaging with local communities, SAS students connect deeply with Singapore through service, academics, and hands-on learning, equipping them with global perspectives and lifelong friendships.

Several alumni parents share their experiences returning to Singapore American School (SAS) with their children. They recall fond memories of the school's community, extracurricular activities, and cultural diversity. Though the school has expanded and modernized, its core values—emphasizing critical thinking, diversity, and global citizenship—remain unchanged. These parents feel grateful for the lasting impact SAS had on them and are excited for their children to experience the same unique education.
