TESTIMONIALS
Anastasia Koltovich-Gao
Junior School Parent
“ We ’ ve lived in Singapore since 2014 and both our children were born here . What drew us to NLCS ( Singapore ) is its long-standing record of academic excellence combined with a modern approach to student development . We were looking for an all-around stimulating environment and are very happy with the curriculum as well as the broad range of extracurricular activities offered by the school . Our daughter often comes home raving about the classes and projects she did in school . There never seems to be a dull moment . She ’ s a complete bookworm and loves to immerse herself in the school libraries . There were times when she would return home with books checked out from the senior library ! We appreciate how she is always encouraged to go down different rabbit holes and really discover the joy of reading . We have immense faith in the Principal , Mr Paul Friend , and his vision for the school in the years ahead . The philosophy of nurturing , inspiring and academically challenging students to reach their fullest potential is an admirable aspect of the school and resonates with our own aspirations for our children .”
Phil Edwards
Vice Principal ( Pastoral )
“ I am a founding member of the NLCS ( Singapore ) team and feel extremely fortunate to work in a school that encourages students to look beyond the syllabus , allowing students to recognise excellence and realise that it is attainable . Our students embrace and welcome challenges with energy and enthusiasm and the atmosphere in every classroom is purposeful and engaging . We foster a culture of positive and supportive relationships with our students , providing advice , guidance and encouragement wherever they may need , ensuring outstanding pastoral care at all times . As Vice Principal ( Pastoral ), my fundamental thoughts are based around how to enhance positive relationships within NLCS ( Singapore ) and embed a blueprint that will shape future lives in meaningful ways . When the time comes to walk out of our school door , NLCS ( Singapore ) students will do so as connected , independent and pioneering individuals with the determination and confidence to make the most of their opportunities and to make their individual way in the world .”
