SINGAPORE - Home-grown Anglo-Chinese School , popular with Singaporeans and foreigners, is spreading its wings, with plans to set up an elementary school in Singapore and to open two more schools in Indonesia, including one in Bali by the end of 2025.
Mr Tan Wah Thong, chairman of the ACS board of management, said that while half of the places in the high school are set aside for Singaporeans, the elementary school will not be open to locals. Under the Compulsory Education Act, Singaporeans must undergo primary school education in government or government-aided schools.
Mr Rob Burrough, former principal of ACS in Singapore, has been appointed principal of ACS Bali and is already on the island working on the set-up of the school. He said that within the next five years, Kura Kura Bali is poised to develop an international marina, a retail complex, intercultural schools for elementary to high school students, hotels and residential villas, and other opportunities within new sectors in tourism that cover education, medical, digital technologies and the creative industries.
The 10-storey building of the elementary school is being built on the same site as its high school near Holland Village. ST PHOTO: GIN TAY Mr D. Devadas, 44, a Singaporean businessman, has been eyeing a place in ACS for his 12-year-old daughter and looking out for when more places open up in the high school.
