Singapore is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, which is quite remarkable considering the small size of the country and its lack of substantial natural resources. 

How it changed from a fractured and economically not-so-well-off country to turn into a global economic powerhouse is an amazing tale of the rise of a nation. One of the major reasons for this is the excellent education system in the country. 

The other reason is the presence of enterprising expats from all over the world who contribute in major ways to the island nation’s economy. Many of these expats live in Singapore with their families including children as it has some really good schools. 

In this article, we shall talk about the best Singapore secondary schools as well as the most sought-after primary school in Singapore.
