I’m the best person to do everything for my child. I’m worried about leaving my child in pre-school. My child cries at drop-off every day, what do I do? If my child starts to cry when going to school, does it mean he is not ready for school?

Hear From Our Parents!

"We’re truly blessed to have found House on the Hill! Sara enjoyed every single day of preschool and still looks back fondly at her time there even now when she’s in Primary Two. I have seen how she has grown in confidence and ability under the patient and child-directed nurturing of her teachers. The school spares no effort to make learning fun and to provide the children with varied and well-rounded learning opportunities.

I’m particularly grateful to Ms Asy and Shao Laoshi for their advice on how I can support and motivate Sara’s learning in primary school. Their keen observations about Sara’s personality and learning style never failed to touch and amaze me. Thank you for preparing Sara so well not just for primary school but for a life of learning ahead!"

"Leon entered House on the Hill when he was only 18 months old and he graduated when he just turned 6. Many people asked me why Leon eats vegetables and whole grains and has good eating habits. At P1 level, his classmates at SJIJ were amazed by his science knowledge and he always scored between 90-95% in math. He never has issues with English. Very high fluency. After St Joseph Institution Junior, Leon is now in a Gifted Programme at Cornelia Elementary School, Edina, MN, USA. I give all the credits to House on the Hill! Thank you! He is doing fine and still full of fond memories of his teachers."

"From the minute we arrive in the morning you can feel the atmosphere that this amazing team of people create. They are nurturing, patient, highly organised and creative and all these things translate into everything that they do from the school curriculum, organised activities to Parent-Teacher events."

"House on the Hill is the only place where my son (who was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD) really felt comfortable, where he could be himself and feel accepted. For this we will be eternally grateful."

"It’s really important to understand that House on the Hill is a school which really cares about your child and you. By putting kids then us first it creates an atmosphere of caring and warmth that few other schools in Singapore can replicate."
