SINGAPORE AMERICAN SCHOOL REIMAGINED
At Singapore American School, we know that the learning journey of each SAS Eagle is unique. Every day in every classroom, our teachers create engaging learning experiences to meet students where they are and help them move forward.
Over six years in a series of three major phases, we will embark on the journey to reimagine SAS—putting in place the supports that empower our faculty to deliver high-quality experiences tailored to the individual needs of each student.
SAS Reimagined is excellence reimagined. Extraordinary care reimagined. Possibilities reimagined.
