Talk:Singapore American School

message: Dude, this article is so grossly propagandistic. 10 of 18 is not "most" by any stretch. None of the 4 "notable" alumni seem notable to me. (Oh yeah and any strawhead can run for President of the United States... governor of Virginia isn't any more difficult. A failed candidate, further more. Being the first American female pilot isn't notable, not on its own. As for the cellist - no Wikipedia article, not notable. Heh. Writer of history books - not notable. Oh and Early Childhood Center? How typically American...

replies: text: If you look through this article's history, you'll see that this text was added into the article in May 2005. The website you refer to (Organization Research Guide at www.123exp-orgs.com) was only created in August 2006 (see: http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=123exp-orgs&tld=com). This is clearly as case of this site copying its text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. Singopo (talk) 07:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I updated the infobox and moved the campus information into a new section as described here. I added a few lines to make it look nice, but hopefully someone can improve on my information.

message: I'm a sophomore who currently goes to this school in 2012, I don't know if anyone cares anymore, but some of the information is regarding the school facilities. For example, there aren't 10 soccer/football fields, there is the stadium field, a turf field, a bumpy grass field, and a tiny field that accompanies one of the softball fields. Also there are 4 auxiliary gyms shared by middle school and high school, and a main gym for both middle school and high school. And one semi-Olympic pool. yeah just saying, and so I'm going to stop procrastinating on my science project. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.212.94.190 (talk) 11:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Changes Needed 

message: It's been awhile since the school information has been updated and I'm interested in refreshing the content as well as adding new content - what is the best procedure for doing this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaldous (talk • contribs) 00:00, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I work for Singapore American School currently as the Director of Communications. It has been years since the content on our page was refreshed to reflect current practices and statistics. I would like to run a series of changes by you for approval. I will not edit the page directly to stay in compliance with COI requests, but would like to get help form someone to help make these changes. 
Can we change the introduction to the following information?
Singapore American School (SAS) is a non-profit, independent, co-educational day school located in the Woodlands area of Singapore. SAS offers an American-based curriculum for students in preschool through high school. One of Singapore’s first international schools, SAS was founded in 1956, and started with a hundred students in a colonial house. It has since developed into a school of nearly 4,000 students on a 36-acre campus, the largest single-campus international school in the world. It is also the largest American-curriculum school outside the United States. 
Students at SAS hold passports from around fifty different countries, with approximately two-thirds of them being United States citizens. Few Singaporean students attend the school as Singapore government regulations prevent most local students from attending international schools within the country. The majority of the teachers come from the U.S., and staff members from over twenty other countries also work at SAS. Most are hired overseas, and three-quarters hold master’s or doctorate degrees. The maximum number of students per class in the Early Childhood Center (ECC) is 16, while for grades K through 12 it is 22.
Traditional academic subjects are complemented by offerings of foreign languages, art, music, dance, physical education, sports, technology, and community service. Teachers integrate their host country into their lessons with frequent field trips and service opportunities, as well as Singapore-based social studies and history units. Air-conditioned classrooms, gyms, libraries and theaters are balanced by many open-air spaces including courtyards, playgrounds, fountains, a rainforest, an eco-garden, and extensive playing fields.
I have all of the sources to confirm everything stated here. I am new to Wikipedia and Ive tried to read about the next step for someone in my position, but wasn't quite clear on who approves any changes I suggest. Thanks for your help.Kaldous (talk) 01:40, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The citations are relevant and working, but some of the sources are from online newspapers that may not be very reliable. The School facilities section is lacking citations. Under the high school subsection in School organisation and divisions, the Quest program and Catalyst Project lack citations and are not explained. The Faculty section has only one citation, which is slightly outdated. Are there more recent sources for faculty statistics? Ljk3 (talk) 02:24, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
