Singapore American School is committed to assisting students in developing a program that meets their academic goals, offers instruction that will lead to a healthy life-style, and affords ample opportunity for participation in appropriate and meaningful activities. We publish this Program Planning Guide to assist students and parents in planning a program that will satisfy all three goals. Inside you will find information about the courses we plan to offer next year along with information on how to select and complete the online registration process. Should you want detailed information about the curriculum covered in any course, go to www.sas.edu.sg/curriculum/ for complete description.

In addition to learning about specific courses, by reading this guide you will learn about the SAS graduation requirements, the kind of program recommended by colleges, and the wide range of academic opportunities available at our school. As you begin planning your courses for next year and beyond, keep in mind that you will perform best when you select a program that includes courses that are personally interesting and appropriately challenging.

During the second semester of each year, current SAS students are asked to choose courses for both semesters of the next school year. During the registration process, your teachers will advise you as to which courses are appropriate for you based upon your ability, performance, and future plans. Take their advice seriously and be certain to ask why they are recommending certain courses for you. Following the online signup process, your current teachers will review your choices and confirm that your skills and abilities will allow you to be successful in the courses you have selected. 

As you are deciding on the courses you would like to request, be sure that you understand what the course will cover, what the prerequisites are, and whether or not there are any expectations beyond what might be considered “normal” for a course, such as additional labs, rehearsals, research, or readings. You should also make certain that you are eligible to take the course since not all courses are available to all grades.

The SAS Counselors are here to assist you as you select your courses and in all other aspects of your life. Please call on us when you need assistance.
