Singapore American School (SAS) is a non-profit, co-educational day school founded in 1956 by a group of American parents, before Singapore became independent. It has grown through four campuses and today occupies a 36-acre site in Woodlands, in the north of the island, which includes a two-acre patch of rainforest. SAS teaches children from Preschool (age 3) to Grade 12 and describes its mission as offering every student an exemplary American education with an international perspective. The school is accredited by WASC and registered in Singapore as a private education institution (PEI). Its programme is organised in an Early Learning Center (Preschool and Pre-K), an Elementary School (K-5), a Middle School (6-8) and a High School (9-12). Distinctive features include a Chinese immersion track from preschool to Grade 5, more than 40 advanced courses in high school (over 20 AP courses, the AP Capstone Diploma and school-designed Advanced Topics courses), the Catalyst and Quest project programmes and a week-long Interim Semester of trips each year. Students can join more than 300 clubs, service groups and after-school activities, and high school teams compete in IASAS. Facilities include four pools, one of them 50 metres long, several theatres and large libraries.
