为什么要来新加坡读书

　　新加坡被誉为“花园城市”，发达的经济水平和干净的国家环境，以及政府“求贤若渴”的教育政策，都吸引着五洲学子。目前，约有3万名中国学生在新加坡留学,且每年人数稳中有升，新加坡的留学优势日趋突显：

一、教育质量高,国际认可

　　新加坡的教育制度沿袭英联邦国家的教育体制。其大学在世界上名列前茅。三所著名的公立大学分别为新加坡国立大学、南洋理工大学和新加坡管理大学，还有一所新建的新加坡科技与设计大学。多数毕业生通常在毕业后2-3个月内都可以找到与各自专业相关的工作。而新加坡的私立院校与许多世界名校联合办学,学生可获取世界名校大学文凭，或直接过渡到英、美、澳等国继续攻读大学本科。

二、签证成功率高

　　仅2－4周即可获签证,且19岁以下学生无需面试。

三、双语教学,费用合理

　　新加坡的双语环境是任何其他国家都望尘莫及的。先进的师资力量和国际化的教学模式，保证了当地的教学质量,并融合中西方文化教育。全英文授课,费用相对于其他国家性价比高。国际学生通常可以申请奖学金、助学金和其他学费资助；大专、大学生还可申请学费贷款和生活费贷款。多数中国留学生在新加坡完成学业后,会选择转入英国、澳大利亚、加拿大等国家继续深造,省时又省钱。

四、政治稳定，易于移民

　　新加坡社会治安良好,是全世界犯罪率最低的国家之一。社会建设、金融体系、通讯交通、教育科技等方面发展迅速。新加坡是高度发达的移民国家,人口有负增长趋势,所以政府鼓励留学人才及高级技术人才在其国内发展,并提供广阔的发展空间和宽松的移民政策。

五、文化相近，多彩生活

　　新加坡为亚洲国家,华人占总人口的70%以上，生活习俗相近,在英语和华语的双语环境中，中国学生可以轻松的适应新加坡的生活。全国各地大城市每天都有抵达新加坡的航班,往返容易。新加坡有着引人入胜的美景、丰富多彩的休闲活动、琳琅满目的商品和世界各地的美食。

Students’ Testimonials

Endang (16 Years Old) and Joni (14 Years Old)

Endang and Joni are siblings who made their way from their hometown in Indonesia in hope to enter a government school in Singapore. In 2009, they joined Stalford’s Preparatory Course for Entry into Government Schools. When they first joined the Academy, they had a poor command of the English language and were struggling to cope with linguistic demands in Singapore, scoring no more than 30 marks in their language examinations. Understanding the situation that they were in, Stalford worked with them intensively to improve their grades and ensured they were imparted the necessary fundamentals for a firm grasp and mastery of the language. After over 2 months of intensive lessons, Endang and Joni took part in the mandatory entry examinations to enter a government school. They not only attained outstanding results but also managed to secure elusive spots in prestigious schools.

Stalford’s assistance did not just end there. Every night after school, Endang and Joni would still seek assistance from teachers at Stalford to work on all their subjects ranging from languages to mathematics and the sciences. The teachers guided them closely and within a short period of one year, Endang and Joni rose above their peers in school and attained the second spot in their respective levels.
Endang and Joni were convinced that the genuine care and guidance given by Stalford’s teachers and staff helped them tremendously in adjusting to life in Singapore. They made them feel welcome and spent countless hours identifying their strengths and weaknesses while teaching them how to do better at their subjects. If not for Stalford’s all round care for its students, the siblings would have faced many issues braving the waters of a new country on their own.

With continual hard work and invaluable guidance from Stalford, Endang and Joni are looking forward to a bright future together.
