In ultra-diverse SG, the festive season can seem extra-long – spanning from October and November (Halloween, Deepavali, Thanksgiving) through December (Hanukkah, Christmas) to January and February (New Year and Chinese New Year). So, if you plan to stay on the island during this period, The Finder Kids’ “Your Guide to Festive Season Fun” will come in handy! Kid birthdays are another reason to celebrate each year.

Start with “Eat Your Way around the Globe”, which rounds up nearly two dozen top-notch international estabs to enjoy. Right. Here. (No travel required!) Keep flipping to “Ultimate SG Foodie Experiences” about restaurants giving hawkers a run for their money and then “Guilt-Free Gourmet” on sustainability-focused fare.

So, you’re looking for a great international school in Singapore for your kiddo? There’s lots to consider!
