INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIA SCHOOLS (IASAS)
Singapore American School is a member of the International Association of Southeast Asia Schools (IASAS), a group of six international schools that annually holds athletic tournaments, a Cultural Convention and Model United Nations. Through those activities and other exchanges with schools in the area, our students have the opportunity to be involved in activities with their peers from around the region.

Students select a course from a wide variety of activities conducted in Singapore, Asia, Australia and Europe. In the past, interim semester has offered SAS students opportunities such as trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal, scuba diving in the Maldives, camping in Australia, traveling the silk road through China, exploring the history of Greece, student teaching at SAS's elementary and middle schools and international cooking, calligraphy, sailing, or golfing in Singapore.
